- metal powders e.g., metal powders, plastic powders (e.g., powdered polystyrene) , silica and activated carbon.
- silica into a polysulfone polymer results in increased active surface area and is suitable for various applications.
- Polysulfone sold under the name UDEL P3500 and P1700 by Amoco is particularly preferred in view of the extent of the adherence of the resulting composite structure to the housing (e.g., the walls of the apertures of the inserts) , including polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, etc., and mixtures thereof.
- polystyrene and polystyrene/acrylonitrile copolymer examples include polyethersulfone, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, acrylonitrile PVC copolymer (sold commercially under the name “DYNEL”), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF, sold commercially under the name “KYNAR”), polystyrene and polystyrene/acrylonitrile copolymer, etc.

- Adhesion to the housing can be enhanced or an analogous effect achieved with these composite structures by means known to those skilled in the art, including etching of the housing, such. as with plasma treatment or chemical oxidation; mechanical aids such as rims inside the housing; and inclusion of additives into the housing material that promote such adhesion. Adhesion allows uniform precipitation during casting.
- the formed structures are cast in the preferred method.
- the membranes or composite structures formed as defined by the well geometry have an aspect "ratio (average diameter to average thickness) of less than about 20, more preferably less than about 10, especially less than 2, most preferably from about 0.5 to about 2.
- ratio average diameter to average thickness
- an aspect ratio within these ranges provides for suitable residence times of the sample in the composite structure during operation.
- N-methyl-pyrolidone is a suitable solvent for polysulfones, polyethersulfones and polystyrene.
- polystyrene pellets can be dissolved in N-methyl- pyrolidone and cast-in-place.
- the resulting structure shows good adhesion to the walls of the wells in the insert, particularly when the insert is plastic, and has adsorption characteristics similar to polysulfone.

- Suitable particle sizes include particles in the range of from about 100 nanometers to about 100 microns in average diameter with or without porosity.
- the material of construction for the housing is not particularly limited, but should be made of a material which will not deleteriously react with the reagents used during the sample preparation procedure or any subsequent procedure.
- the material also must withstand the conditions typical of the method, particularly where pressure is used as the fluid driving force. ' Suitable materials include plastics
- polyolefins especially polyethylene and polypropylene; PVC and polystyrene
- glass and stainless steel glass and stainless steel.
- the housing 10 and number of recesses or apertures therein are not critical. Where a plurality of apertures are present, the housing forms a high- density sample array.
- the housing shown is a 3.365" x 5.030" planar card or plate, containing 384 recesses or apertures 12, and is 0.090 inches thick.
- the apertures 12 penetrate through the housing. Smaller or larger housings can be used, as can thicker or thinner housings.
- the housing is planar or substantially planar.
- the apertures 12 can be formed in the housing by any suitable means, such as drilling, punching or molding. Preferably the apertures 12 are evenly spaced.
- the apertures 12 have a diameter of about 0.060 inches and are spaced at about 0.178" centers.
- Figure IB shows another embodiment with 96 apertures 12, each with a diameter of 0.150 inches and spaced 0.354 inch centers. The card of Figure IB is 0.09 inches thick.
- the preferred configuration of the recesses or apertures 12 is substantially cylindrical, as the flow vectors during operation are substantially straight, similar to chromatography, thereby minimizing or avoiding dilutional washing that might occur with non-cylindrical configurations.
- the recesses Preferably have an open top and an open bottom opposing and spaced from the open top, and thus are coplanar with the top and bottom surfaces of the housing.
- the composite structure contained in the recesses preferably fills each recess, but can occupy less than the total volume of each recess if desired.
- the composite structure is preferably coterminous with both sides of the recess, but can fill less than the entire recess so as to form a distribution well for the introduction of liquid sample, for example.
- the structures of the present invention have a final bed height of from about 0.005 to about 0.5 inches.
- the ideal bed heights will depend upon the application and are readily determined by those skilled in the art.
- ' Bed height is predominantly controlled by the housing thickness; the structures are preferably coterminous with the two sides of the housing that communicate with the recess or recesses.
- the housing is planar such as a plate, the structures are preferably coplanar with the two sides of the housing that communicate with the recess or recesses.
- the structures of the present invention are not filled with particles, symmetrical or asymmetrical semi-permeable structures, or a combination of symmetrical and asymmetrical semi-permeable polymeric structures, can be formed.
- the preferred method of formation is casting in si tu in the wells of the
- a self-retaining, self-supporting structure suitable for separations based on size or adsorption (depending on polymer identity).
- Recess geometry e.g., ribbed, hourglass or conical
- Functionality can be either intrinsic or added to such a membrane to perform adsorption separations without the use of particles.
- cellulose acetate can be treated with base to form cellulose, followed by an oxidant to render it reactive .
- the preferred method of formation involves precipitation by means of solvent exchange, such as by introducing the casting solution into the apertures of the inserts by any suitable means, as discussed above.
- the insert is held to the substrate by mechanical means or by adhesion (e.g., taping).
- adhesion e.g., taping
- the casting solution in the recesses is contacted with a liquid in which the polymer is insoluble, preferably water, so that the polymer precipitates in the recesses.
- the inserts are placed on a flat substrate, such as a steel or glass plate, thereby forming a floor or bottom to each recess in the insert.
- the casting solution is then applied to the insert and the recesses therein filled.
- the insert (and substrate) is immersed in the liquid in which the polymer precipitates. Through the exchange of water for the solvent, the structure precipitates. The substrate is then removed from the insert.
- the solvent used to prepare the casting solution and the non-solvent can contain a variety of additives.
- One particular example is a casting solution containing 30% (w/w) C18 silica solids (15 ⁇ m) in a 9% (w/w) Udel P3500 (polysulfone dissolved in N- methylpyrrolidone) solution which has a viscosity of about 800 cps.
- This solution is suitable for use in holes of about 0.080 in diameter and about the same in length.
- the viscosity of this solution can be increased to above about 20,000 cps by increasing the C18 solids content to about 40% (w/w) .
- the relationship between solids content and viscosity will vary with particle type.
- the semi-permeable barrier can be optionally left in place, especially if slightly recessed (e.g., 0.010 inches recessed) from the top surface of the recess, to carry out size-based separations with unfilled structures, as the barrier acts as a micro- or ultra-filtration membrane.
- the cast in-place structure assumes the shape of the recesses 12 and results in a self-retaining homogeneous structure akin to a chromatographic column, providing a large surface area (e.g., when particles are included in the polymer matrix) suitable for bind/elute chromatography or for other analytical or biochemical techniques.
- Suitable driving forces include centrifugation, gravity, capillary action, pressure or vacuum.
- FIG. 2 illustrates one suitable device 20 that forms the sample preparation device of the present invention.
- the device 20 includes a sample reservoir 22 and a collection reservoir 23 in fluid communication with the sample reservoir 22 through the preferably planar insert or card 10.
- the insert or card 10 could be applied directly, or can be sealed to a housing 20 by any suitable means, such as mechanically with seal 26, by gluing, welding, such as ultrasonic welding, impulse welding or thermal welding, ensuring that all sample passes through the insert or card (via the filled recesses 12) into the collection reservoir during operation.
- a mechanical lock down plate 25 coupled to a pair of tie rods actuated by cam lever can be used to secure the device 20 together during operation, but other mechanical means are possible and within the scope of the present invention, such as suitable lock down hardware 27 as shown.
- Figure 3A illustrates a design that can be bonded together as a single unit that can fit into a conventional vacuum housing ( Figure 3B) used for 96 or 384 well filter plates.
- the upper sample chamber array 30, which contains a plurality of wells 33 (which for a 96X device, can be spaced by 0.36 inch centers; for a 384X device, can be spaced by 0.178 inch centers, etc.) is bonded to the insert 31 along an underdrain assembly 32.
- the underdrain 32 is an array of spouts 34 (preferably in a single part) that is bonded to the underside of the insert 31 and serves to direct the filtrate liquid into a collection vessel or collection reservoir 23.
- the spouts 34 are sized according to the size of the wells in the insert.
- suitable means e.g., glue, such as cyanomethacrylate, UV curable glue, epoxy, silicone, etc., thermal or ultrasonic welding, etc.
- glue such as cyanomethacrylate, UV curable glue, epoxy, silicone, etc., thermal or ultrasonic welding, etc.
- the three pieces now form a disposable housing that when placed in a suitable vacuum manifold (with a collection plate 35) will operate as a multiwell (96, 384, 1536X, etc.) sample preparation device ( Figure 3B) .
- the upper chamber and lower spout assemblies can be comprised of a variety of plastics, including polypropylene, polycarbonate, polystyrene, etc.
- FIG. 3B the vacuum chamber for operating the plate assembly unit of Figure 3A is shown in Figure 3B.
- a lower chamber 52 is provided which houses the collection plate 35 as shown.
- a removable lid 53 is configured to mate with the side walls 54 of the lower chamber 52, and includes elastomeric seals 55 to seal against the side walls and against which the plate assembly unit seals. Once the plate assembly unit is sealed in the device, vacuum or other driving force can be applied to effectuate flow.
- the device of Figure 3A may be assembled by turning the upper housing 30 upside down and precisely dispensing an adhesive onto the partition using a computer controlled liquid delivery device. Onto this, the insert 31 is laid, while taking care to maintain the proper orientation. Once the adhesive in this sub-assembly cures, additional adhesive is applied to the partitions on the side of the insert opposite that adhered to the upper housing 30. The underdrain 32 is set upon this additional adhesive and carefully oriented for axial alignment of recesses. The result after curing is a disposable, high throughput, sample preparation device ready to fit into current state-of-the-art robotics.
- the device 20 can be adapted to accommodate more than a single insert at any given time.
- two or more inserts can be aligned so that their respective recesses are in fluid communication with one another.
- one or more holes in a single insert can be filled with media having different chemistries.
- a desorbing matrix can be applied to the sample bound to the structure in the insert, such as a matrix including acetonitrile, which desorbs the sample for MALDI TOF mass spectrometry, and also helps mediate the effect of the laser so that the sample is not destroyed.
