  • Patent number: 7125945
    Abstract: Halogenated polymers of vinyl aromatic monomers comprising styrene and divinylbenzene are provided for use in a chromatographic separation method of analytes, wherein said polymer further comprises a hydrocarbyl or halocarbyl substituent comprising from 1 to 1,000,000 carbon atoms, or combinations thereof. Methods of using the halogenated polymers are also provided. The polymers and methods are particularly useful in the separation of nucleic acids labeled with hydrophobic labels such as protecting groups, fluorophores, and the like.

  • Patent number: 7056858
    Abstract: A polymeric sorbent that can be employed in the extraction and purification of polar and nonpolar molecules from a complex media (e.g. pharmaceuticals from biological matrices) by solid phase extraction (SPE). The sorbent exhibits a strong capacity for the retention of polar molecules and can facilitate the recovery of compounds possessing a range of polarities while furnishing clean extracts showing low ion suppression. The polymer is wettable and remains wetted over long periods of time.
