[0284] In some cases, the solution includes washing solutions, resuspension solutions, denaturation solutions, buffers, reagents (e.g., reducing reagents), or any combination thereof. In some cases, the solution includes biological samples.
[0285] In some cases, these features may enable the loading unit to compartmentalize the sample. In some embodiments, this involves dividing the sample into several compartments. The sample can be divided into at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 150, 180, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 500, or more compartments.

The dilutions may be stored in the automated device before dispensing into the substrate compartment. The automated device may store multiple dilutions with different pH, salinity, osmotic pressure, viscosity, dielectric constant, or any combination thereof. The dilutions may be used to adjust the chemical properties of the sample or sample compartment. The automated device may dilute the sample or sample compartment by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500 times, or more. In some embodiments, the automated device may dilute the sample or sample compartment by about 2 to about 5 times. The automated device may perform different dilutions for two samples or sample compartments. The system may perform different dilutions on each of the 96 sample compartments within a multi-compartment system. For example, the system may perform different dilutions on each of the 96 sample compartments in a 96-well plate. In some cases, the different dilutions include dilutions of different degrees (e.g., 2x versus 4x). In some cases, the different dilutions include dilutions with different solutions (e.g., different buffers). In some cases, two sample compartments may be prepared to differ in one or more chemical properties, such as pH, salinity, or viscosity.
[0287] In some cases, the system may modify the chemical composition of the sample or sample compartment. The system may modify or adjust the pH, salinity, osmotic pressure, dielectric constant, viscosity, type of buffer, type of salt, type of sugar, type of detergent, or any combination thereof for the sample or sample compartment. Such modifications or adjustments may include mixing reagents from the fourth unit with the sample or sample compartment. The system may modify the chemical composition of two samples or sample compartments differently.
[0288] The systems or automated apparatus of this disclosure may also include incubation elements. An incubation element may contact, support, or hold another component of the automated apparatus (e.g., a substrate or unit). An incubation unit may contact, support, or hold multiple components of the automated apparatus. An incubation element may be in contact with a substrate to facilitate heat transfer between the incubation element and the substrate. An incubation unit may be configured to control the temperature of one or more components of the automated apparatus, for example, by heating or cooling. An incubation element may be capable of cooling a component of the apparatus from 20°C to 1°C. An incubation element may be capable of heating a component of the apparatus from 25°C to 100°C. An incubation element may be capable of setting the temperature of a component of the apparatus between 4°C and 37°C. An incubation element may be configured to heat or cool different parts of a component of the automated apparatus to different temperatures. For example, an incubation element may maintain a first compartment in the substrate at 30°C and a second compartment in the substrate at 35°C. The incubation element may control the temperature of the sample or compartment. The incubation element may include a temperature sensor (e.g., a thermocouple) for detecting the temperature inside the compartment or container. The incubation element may adjust its heating or cooling in response to readings from the temperature sensor.
[0289] The incubation element may be configured to physically agitate the components of the automated device. The agitation may take the form of shaking or rotation, vibration, shaking, ultrasonic treatment, or any combination thereof. The incubation element may be capable of providing multiple agitation intensities and / or frequencies. For example, the incubation element may include multiple settings for shaking at different frequencies and amplitudes. The incubation element may also be capable of agitating and / or mixing a volume (e.g., a portion of a biological sample).
[0290] The automated apparatus may include a unit containing a resuspension solution. The loading unit may be capable of moving a volume of resuspension solution from one of several compartments of the substrate into a compartment. In some cases, this may result in dilution of the sample present in the compartment and further desorption of multiple biomolecules from the biomolecular corona placed on the sensor element within the compartment. The amount of biomolecules desorbed from the biomolecular corona may depend on the volume of resuspension solution added to the compartment, the temperature of the compartment, the composition of the resuspension solution (e.g., salinity, osmotic pressure, viscosity, dielectric constant, or pH), the volume of the biological sample in the compartment, the type of sensor element, and the composition of biomolecules in the biomolecular corona. The movement of a volume of resuspension solution into a compartment may result in the desorption of less than 5% of biomolecules from the biomolecular corona. The movement of a volume of resuspension solution into a compartment may result in the desorption of 10% to 20% of biomolecules from the biomolecular corona. The movement of a volume of resuspension solution into a compartment may result in the desorption of 20% to 30% of biomolecules from the biomolecular corona. The transfer of volume of resuspended solution into the compartment may result in the desorption of 30% to 40% of biomolecules from the biomolecule corona. The transfer of volume of resuspended solution into the compartment may result in the desorption of 40% to 50% of biomolecules from the biomolecule corona. The transfer of volume of resuspended solution into the compartment may result in the desorption of 50% to 60% of biomolecules from the biomolecule corona. The transfer of volume of resuspended solution into the compartment may result in the desorption of 60% to 70% of biomolecules from the biomolecule corona. The transfer of volume of resuspended solution into the compartment may result in the desorption of 70% to 80% of biomolecules from the biomolecule corona. The transfer of volume of resuspended solution into the compartment may result in the desorption of 80% to 90% of biomolecules from the biomolecule corona. The transfer of volume of resuspended solution into the compartment may result in the desorption of more than 90% of biomolecules from the biomolecule corona.
[0291] In some cases, multiple desorption rounds are performed. In each round, the supernatant containing the desorbed biomolecules may be collected, analyzed, or discarded. The types and amounts of biomolecules in the supernatant may differ between desorption rounds. The automated system may perform one or more desorption and discard cycles (i.e., washing), followed by one or more desorption cycles including sample collection and / or analysis.
[0292] The resuspension solution may be adapted to optimize the enrichment of a specific biomarker. The resuspension solution may contain a buffer, e.g., Tris-EDTA(TE), CHAPS, PBS, citrate, HEPES, MES, CHES, or another biobuffer. The resuspension solution may contain Tris EDTA(TE), 150 mM KCl, and 0.05% CHAPS buffer. The resuspension solution may contain 10 mM TrisHCl, pH 7.4, and 1 mM EDTA. The resuspension solution may also contain, or may not contain, highly purified water (e.g., distilled or deionized water). Desorption of biomolecules may be amplified by heating or stirring with an incubation element. The supernatant may be transferred to a new compartment after desorption. The resuspension solution may be used to dilute the sample.
[0293] The automated apparatus may include a unit containing a denaturation solution. The denaturation solution may contain a protease. The denaturation solution may contain a chemical capable of peptide cleavage (e.g., cyanogen bromide, formic acid, or hydroxylamine, 2-nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic acid). The denaturation solution may contain a chemical denaturant, such as guanidine, urea, sodium deoxycholate, acetonitrile, trichloroacetic acid, acetic acid, sulfosalicylic acid, sodium bicarbonate, ethanol, perchlorate, dodecyl sulfate, or any combination thereof. The denaturation solution may contain a reducing agent, such as 2-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, or tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine. The protease may be trypsin. The denaturation solution may be added to the compartment after desorption. The denaturation solution may be added to the compartment containing the biomolecule corona.
[0294] The automated device may include a magnet or an array of magnets. The automated device may be capable of moving the substrate on and from the magnet or array of magnets. The array of magnets may be structured such that multiple magnets from the array of magnets can be positioned directly below multiple compartments on the substrate. The magnet may be capable of immobilizing magnetic sensor elements (e.g., magnetic particles, e.g., coated or uncoated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles) within compartments on the substrate. For example, the magnet may prevent magnetic nanoparticles from being removed from the compartments during the washing step. The magnet may also produce pellets from the magnetic particle collection. The magnet may produce particle pellets in less than 10 minutes. The magnet may produce particle pellets in less than 5 minutes. The particle pellets may contain particles having a biomolecular corona.
[0295] The automated apparatus may include a purification unit. The purification unit may include a plurality of compartments containing an adsorbent or resin. The purification unit may include a solid-phase extraction array or plate. The solid-phase extraction array or plate may contain a polar stationary phase material. The solid-phase extraction array or plate may contain a non-polar stationary phase material. The solid-phase extraction array or plate may contain a C18 stationary phase material (e.g., octadecyl silica gel). The automated apparatus may include a unit having a conditioning solution for the purification unit (e.g., a conditioning solution for the solid-phase extraction material). The automated apparatus may include a unit having an elution solution for removing biomolecules from the purification unit.
[0296] In some embodiments, the supernatant is removed from the sensor array plate. In some examples, an automated system may perform a series of washing steps. The washing steps may remove biomolecules not bound to the sensor elements in the compartment. The washing steps may desorb a subset of biomolecules bound to the sensor elements in the compartment. For example, the washing steps may result in the desorption and removal of a subset of soft corona analytes while leaving most of the hard corona analytes bound to the sensor elements intact.
