6results about "Electrophoretic profiling" patented technology

Devices and methods for characterizing an analyte mixture are provided. Some methods described herein include performing an enrichment step on a device prior to discharging an enriched analyte fraction from the device for subsequent analysis. The invention also comprises a device for carrying out the enrichment steps.

Some embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods operable to combine immunoassays and total protein techniques in a single sample run. Some embodiments described herein allow multiple sequential immunoassays to be performed in the same microfluidic device. Some embodiments described herein relate to stripping reagents operable to remove primary antibodies associated with immunoassays. Such stripping reagents allow additional immunoassays and / or total protein assays to be performed on the same sample.
