Title: Innovations of Jia-li Liao in Biological Sample Analysis
Introduction
Jia-li Liao is a notable inventor based in Upsala, Sweden. He has made significant contributions to the field of biological sample analysis, holding 2 patents that focus on innovative methods for concentrating and desalting biological samples.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Concentration of biological samples on a microliter scale and analysis." This invention provides new methods for concentrating ionic solutes, particularly ampholytes such as peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids. The methods leverage the electrophoretic migration velocities of solutes, which decrease with a reduction in the zeta-potential or pore size of the electrophoresis medium. This innovation allows for the concentration of solutes within the same capillary tube used for electrophoretic analysis, enhancing efficiency.
Another significant patent is "Methods for the desalting of biological samples: a simple approach to." This invention outlines new techniques for desalting samples of ionic polymers or weak electrolytes, particularly ampholytes. The methods are based on electrophoretic replacement of salts with ampholytes present in the media, allowing for rapid and reproducible desalting. This approach is particularly effective for small-volume samples and can also be applied in the same capillary tube used for electrophoretic analysis.
