Latest Patents

Huang is named on 1 patent: “Separation device and method of separation.” The invention describes a column that holds separation media and has a bottom liquid inlet and outlet. An elongated frit, arranged substantially parallel to the column’s side walls, separates the media from the bottom opening while allowing liquid to pass through and helping retain the media during processing.

The patent also describes methods for separating a target molecule from a liquid sample. These methods process liquid through the column by aspirating or dispensing fluid through the bottom inlet and outlet, adding liquid through an optional top inlet, or combining these steps. The design is intended to support readily automated biomolecule separation.
