  • Fogwill, Michael O.

Abstract

Liquid chromatography systems described herein are smaller in size and with a reduced extra-column volume due to direct connection of a liquid chromatography column and/or detector to an injector valve and due to eliminating the need for a column oven by relying on heating of the liquid chromatography column and detector by a preheater. The size of the liquid chromatography systems are enough that the liquid chromatography systems may be deployed adjacent to automated sample preparation robotics, adjacent to a process stream, or adjacent to the inlet of a mass spectrometer. In addition, the extra-column volume of the liquid chromatography systems may be reduced by eliminating many of the connection tubes and by situating components of the liquid chromatography system in closer proximity.

Abstract

The present technology is directed to methods of improved nucleic acid-based ion-exchange chromatography. In particular, the methods utilize a modification of a sample, and in some examples a modification of mobile phase carrying the sample to the ion-exchange column. In a method of the technology, a bracketed sample is loaded into an injector needle apparatus and injected into an ion-exchange column. The bracketed sample is loaded by (a) adding a first-plug solvent comprising a first salt and having a basic pH; (b) adding a sample plug; and (c) adding a second-plug solvent comprising a second salt and having a basic pH. In certain examples, the bracketed sample is delivered to the column using a mobile phase gradient consisting of first solvent and second solvent and wherein 0% of the second solvent is excluded from the gradient.

Abstract

The present technology provides a description of a flow column dampener device capable of decreasing the MALS noise from solvent contaminants and transient ripples induced by the HPLC pump prior to the evaluation and characterization of the biophysical properties of macromolecules. This dampener typically includes a particle bed column that can trap and remove the noise-inducing soluble particulates from mobile phase, while simultaneously dampening the noise induced by pump-induced ripples. The types of sorbents, sorbent particle size range and column size formats of the device provides significant reduction in MALS noise prior to the evaluation. This device enables confident characterization of cell and gene therapy products with accurate measurements of the physical properties of the macromolecule analytes such as cell and gene therapy products.

Abstract

A device for unsealing a sample pan for a thermal analysis instrument includes a sample pan holder, an actuator element and a punch element. The sample pan holder is configured to secure the sample pan in a fixed position with respect to the sample pan holder.

The punch element is attached to the actuator element and is positioned with respect to the sample pan such that the change in the shape of the actuator element in response to the change in the external temperature moves the punch element to puncture the sealing element to thereby expose the internal volume of the sample pan to an external environment.

Abstract

Embodiments described herein relate to improved devices and techniques for measuring the charge carried by analyte particles. The charge may be measured in a way that does not destroy the analyte, so that the analyte remains available for further analysis. The charged analyte particles may pass through (or by) an electrode. In doing so, they induce a counter charge on that electrode which can be detected electronically. Subsequent to their passage through that electrode, the particles can be collected on a substrate or may pass in real-time into a mass spectrometer. In some embodiments, both conventional destructive detection and nondestructive detection may both be present in an improved charged aerosol detector and the stream of charged particles may be directed to one or the other by a suitable redirector. Embodiments may be combined with light scattering analysis to provide further non-destructive analysis. Various combinations of these improvements are also described.

The method includes introducing a sample comprising the analytes into a chromatographic system. The chromatographic system has a flow path disposed in an interior of the chromatographic system, at least a portion of the flow path having an active coating, and a chromatographic column having a stationary phase material in an interior of the chromatographic column that facilitates separation of the analytes in the sample through interaction with at least one analyte in the sample. The active coating is selected to interact with at least one analyte in the sample through (1) a repulsive force, (2) a secondary interaction, or (3) a retention mechanism distinct from the interaction with the stationary phase material.

The current invention provides a novel method to synthesize a mono-disperse non-porous polymer particles with a unique gradient composition from the core to the shell. In particular, the present invention offers the flexibility to design the chemical and physical properties of different sections of the particle. This flexibility allows for significant latitude in the design of particles for analyzing a large variety of samples in different fields—through using these particles in different chromatography techniques including, but not limited to, ion exchange HPLC (e.g., bio-separation at different modes), reversed-phase HPLC, narrow bore and capillary HPLC, hydrophilic/hydrophobic interaction liquid chromatography, capillary electrochromatography separation, and two dimensional liquid chromatography.

Abstract

In one aspect, the present invention provides a chromatographic stationary phase material for various different modes of chromatography represented by Formula 1: [X](W)a(Q)b(T)c (Formula 1). X can be a high purity chromatographic core composition having a surface comprising a silica core material, metal oxide core material, an inorganic-organic hybrid material or a group of block copolymers thereof. W can be absent and/or can include hydrogen and/or can include a hydroxyl on the surface of X. Q can be a functional group that minimizes retention variation over time (drift) under chromatographic conditions utilizing low water concentrations. T can include one or more hydrophilic, polar, ionizable, and/or charged functional groups that chromatographically interact with the analyte. Additionally, b and c can be positive numbers, with the ratio 0.05≤(b/c)≤100, and a≥0.

Abstract

The present disclosure discusses a method of separating a sample (e.g., pharmaceutical drug, genotoxic impurity, biomarker, and/or biological metabolite) including coating a metallic flow path of a chromatographic system; injecting the sample into the chromatographic system; flowing the sample through the chromatographic system; separating the sample; and analyzing the separated sample using mass spectroscopy. In some examples, the coating applied to the surfaces defining the flow path is non-binding with respect to the sample—and the separated sample. Consequently, the sample does not bind to the low-binding surface of the coating of the flow path. The applied coating can increase the chromatographic peak area for the sample of the chromatographic system.

In some examples, the coating of the flow path is non-binding with respect to the analyte, such as oligonucleotides. Consequently, the analyte does not bind to the coating of the flow path. The non-binding coating eliminates the need for passivation, which can eliminate the formerly needed time to passivate as well. In addition, analyte can be recovered with a first injection in a system, such as chromatographic system.
