STTR Phase I: Magnetohydrodynamic-based Circular Liquid Chromatography

这项小型企业技术转让（STTR）第一阶段项目旨在开发一种基于磁流体动力学（MHD）的闭环液相色谱（LC）技术。这项工作将改进现有的技术，以便对所需的材料进行更具体的纯化。现有的lc由固定长度的列组成，不能根据心中的分离任务进行调整。使用弯曲成闭环的柱，具有无限长的长度，应该允许人们实现非常精确的分离和纯化化合物，将减轻MHD系统。液相色谱法是一种成熟的技术，常用于化学、生物和医学实验室中大分子的分离和纯化。固定长度柱的缺点早已被认识到。这种新颖的MHD方法将允许增加分离，从而更好地纯化这些大分子，用于研究试剂和药物开发市场。

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project aims to develop a magnetohydrodynamically (MHD) based, closed-loop liquid chromatographic (LC) technology. The work will improve on exiting technologies to allow more specific purification of desired materials. Existing LCs consist of a fixed length column that cannot adjust according to the separation task in mind. Using a column bent into a closed loop that has virtual infinite length and should allow one to achieve very precise separations and purification of compounds will alleviate the MHD system.Liquid chromatography is a mature technology that is often used in chemical, biological, and medical laboratories for separation and purification of macromolecules. The shortcomings of fixed length columns have long been recognized. This novel MHD approach will allow for increased separation and thus better purification of such macromolecules for use as research reagents as well as in the drug development market.
