Chiral Temperature Gradient Focusing

View page
US Patent:
7572357, Aug 11, 2009
Filed:
Jan 24, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/039955
Inventors:
David J. Ross - Silver Spring MD, US
Wyatt N. Vreeland - Washington DC, US
Karin M. Balss - Basking Ridge NJ, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Commerce, the National Institute of Standards and Technology - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01N 27/447
US Classification:
204452, 204450, 204451
Abstract:
A method and device are provided for concentrating and separating materials in fluids within a fluidic device having a fluid conduit such as a channel or capillary. The concentration is achieved by balancing the electrophoretic velocity of a material against the bulk flow of fluid in the presence of a temperature gradient. An additive is added to the fluid which interacts with the material and which modifies the normal electrophoretic mobility of the material. Using an appropriate fluid, the temperature gradient can generate a corresponding gradient in the electrophoretic velocity so that the electrophoretic and bulk velocities sum to zero at a unique position along the conduit and the material will be focused at that position. The method and device may be adapted for use with a variety of materials including fluorescent dyes, amino acids, proteins, DNA and to concentrate a dilute material.

System And Method For The Non-Destructive Assessment Of The Quantitative Spatial Distribution Of Components Of A Medical Device

View page
US Patent:
20080228428, Sep 18, 2008
Filed:
Jul 19, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/780342
Inventors:
Karin Maria Balss - King of Prussia PA, US
Gerard Llanos - Stewartsville NJ, US
Cynthia Maryanoff - New Hope PA, US
George Papandreou - Kendall Park NJ, US
Vladimir Veselov - Newtown PA, US
International Classification:
G06F 15/00
US Classification:
702137
Abstract:
A method and system for the non-destructive analysis of medical devices uses a confocal Raman microscope and other non-destructive analytical tools to assess the spatial distribution of components of an object such as the distribution of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) within a polymer matrix. In a preferred embodiment, confocal Raman spectroscopy was used to differentiate each component found in the sirolimus-eluting coronary stent. The unique spectral features identified for each component were then used to develop three separate calibration curves to describe the solid phase distribution found on drug-polymer coated stents. The calibration curves were obtained by analyzing confocal Raman spectral depth profiles from a set of 16 unique formulations of drug-polymer coatings sprayed onto stents and planar substrates.
