Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080245736Crosslinked cellulosic nanofiltration membranes - The present invention relates to a nanofilter formed by using a porous ultrafiltration membrane as a precursor, and carefully controlling reaction conditions so as to maintain sufficient hydrophilic nature of the membrane while causing the pore structure to close to a nanofilter range (less than 400 Daltons). This produces a solvent stable cellulose nanofiltration membrane capable of operating at satisfactory flux in aqueous solutions, and being low binding to organic biomaterials.10-09-2008
20100063261Affinity chromatography matrices and methods of making and using the same - The invention provides methods of coupling protein ligands to a solid support. The invention also provides affinity chromatography matrices and methods of using affinity chromatography matrices to purify a target molecule.03-11-2010
20100065498Novel Coated Membranes and Other Articles - The present invention provides porous media or membranes having a surface coating that includes a cross-linked terpolymer which has a superior combination of properties, including heat stable biomolecule resistant adsorptive properties, resistance to strong alkaline solutions, and low levels of extractable matter. In some preferred embodiments, the porous media is a porous membrane.03-18-2010
20110105730AFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY MATRICES AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - The invention provides methods of coupling protein ligands to a solid support. The invention also provides affinity chromatography matrices and methods of using affinity chromatography matrices to purify a target molecule.05-05-2011

20100044302Hydrophilic, high protein binding, low fluorescence, western blotting membrane - Hydrophilic membrane particularly suited for blotting applications, preferably Western blotting. A pre-wet hydrophobic membrane substrate, preferably made of PVDF, is contacted with a monomer solution and subjected to a UV-initiated free radical polymerization step to render the substrate permanently hydrophilic. The resulting membrane exhibits low background fluorescence, high protein binding, excellent retention of protein sample spot morphology, and extended dynamic range (high signal-to-noise ratio, enhanced sample detectability). The membrane demonstrates comparable or higher performance in Western blotting applications than conventional nitrocellulose Western blotting membranes, particularly for protein detection at low sample concentrations, and is directly water-wettable, eliminating the need for an alcohol pre-wet step prior to use.02-25-2010
