Novel chromatographic materials for chromatographic separations, columns, kits, and methods for preparation and separations with a superficially porous material comprising a substantially nonporous core and one or more layers of a porous shell material surrounding the core. The material of the invention is comprised of superficially porous particles and a narrow particle size distribution. The material of the invention is comprised of a superficially porous monolith, the substantially nonporous core material is silica; silica coated with an inorganic/organic hybrid surrounding material; a magnetic core material; a magnetic core material coated with silica; a high thermal conductivity core material; a high thermal conductivity core material coated with silica; a composite material; an inorganic/organic hybrid surrounding material; a composite material coated with silica; a magnetic core material coated with an inorganic/organic hybrid surrounding material; or a high thermal conductivity core material coated with an inorganic/organic hybrid surrounding material.

Superficially porous materials comprising a substantially nonporous core having narrow particle size distribution; process for the preparation thereof; and use thereof for chromatographic separations

The present disclosure relates to a kit for sample preparation, the kit including a solid support surface with a polymer coating covering the solid support surface, wherein the polymer coating reduces undesired interactions between the sample and the solid support surface, a buffer comprising arginine and methionine, and a vessel for containing the solid support surface and the buffer.

Methods for heat-assisted enzyme digestion

The present disclosure relates to a method of digesting a sample comprising protein, the method comprising: adding the sample to an apparatus containing a buffer and a solid support surface comprising a surface coating, wherein the surface coating immobilizes enzyme while reducing undesired interactions between the sample and the solid support surface; immobilizing enzymes on the surface coating for digestion of the protein of the sample; and heating the sample to complete a heat-assisted digestion of the protein.

In various aspects, the present disclosure pertains to sorbents for isolating at least one target protein from a liquid sample, the sorbents comprising a solid support comprising attached at least one attached high affinity reagent with an affinity for the at least one target protein. Other aspects of the present disclosure include kit that contain such sorbents and methods of treating samples using the same.

Non-antibody high-affinity-based sample preparation, sorbent, devices and methods

A sample preparation device is provided for enriching a component of a sample. The sample preparation device includes a surface in fluid communication with the sample, an alkylsilyl coating disposed on the surface, and an affinity ligand or an enzyme covalently bonded to the alkylsilyl coating.

Coatings with immobilized affinity ligands and enzymes and use thereof in liquid chromatography assays

The present invention provides novel chromatographic materials, e.g., for chromatographic separations, processes for their preparation and separations devices containing the chromatographic materials. The preparation of the inorganic/organic hybrid materials of the invention wherein a surrounding material is condensed on a superficially porous hybrid core material will allow for families of different hybrid packing materials to be prepared from a single core hybrid material. Differences in hydrophobicity, ion-exchange capacity, chemical stability, surface charge or silanol activity of the surrounding material may be used for unique chromatographic separations of small molecules, carbohydrates, antibodies, whole proteins, peptides, and/or DNA.

Hybrid material for chromatographic separations comprising a superficially porous core and a surrounding material

The present invention provides novel chromatographic materials, e.g., for chromatographic separations, processes for its preparation and separations devices containing the chromatographic material; separations devices, chromatographic columns and kits comprising the same; and methods for the preparation thereof. The chromatographic materials of the invention are chromatographic materials comprising having a narrow particle size distribution.

Superficially porous materials comprising a substantially nonporous hybrid core having narrow particle size distribution

The present disclosure relates to protein arrays and methods of using the same for the detection, quantification and characterization of biomolecules that specifically bind to the array among various other biomolecules in a biological sample. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to protein arrays that include a plurality of immunoglobulin molecules derived from shark single-domain heavy chain antibody lacking light-chains but including at least one variable antigen-binding domain with a binding site for an antigen. The immunoglobulin molecules are immobilized on a substrate via a linker. Further encompassed herein are diagnostic devices and kits, comprising the protein array and methods of using same.
