Title: Use of capillary electrophoresis for quantitating the concentration of protein components and of the total protein in fluids
Inventor: WANG HANN-PING
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 1994-09-15
Granted: 1999-05-12
Abstract: A method of quantitating proteins in complex samples using capillary electrophoresis can be used both to determine the concentration of a protein in a sample and to determine total protein concentration in the sample. In general, the method of determining the concentration of a marker protein comprises: (1) adding a known quantity of an internal standard compound to a sample containing at least one protein, the internal standard compound selected from the group consisting of benzoic acid substituted with at least one halogen, producing a detector signal in relation to its concentration, and being capable of electrophoretic separation from the protein; (2) subjecting the sample and the internal standard compound to capillary electrophoresis to separate the protein and the internal standard compound from each other and from other components in the sample; (3) measuring the detector signal produced by the internal standard compound and a detector signal produced by the protein to determine a ratio of protein signal to internal standard signal; and (4) determining the concentration of the protein in the sample from a standard curve of protein concentration versus the ratio of protein signal to internal standard signal. A typical protein measurable by the method is albumin. Typically, measurements are made at 214 nm and the internal standard compound is 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid.

Abstract: A device driver architecture that couples an operating system to a computer interface of a controller device that includes a plurality of functional sub-elements. The device driver includes a plurality of operating system interface objects each presenting an operating system interface (OSI) to the operating system, a plurality of computer interface objects each providing for the generation of programming values to be applied to the computer interface to establish the operating mode of a respective predetermined sub-element of the controller device, and a device driver library of processing routines callable by each of the plurality of operating system interface objects to process data and generate calls to the plurality of computer interface objects in predetermined combinations. The device driver library enables the selection of an execution contexts within which to define the generation and application of the programming values to the computer interface. The state of the hardware interface is virtualized and maintained in discrete contexts, allowing for application specific, dynamic alteration of the state of the hardware interface through essentially context switching private to the device driver in response to selected operating system events.
