Sigris Awarded 6th Patent on its MixSep™ Technology
September 11, 2007
Sigris Research, Inc. is pleased to announce that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has approved the issuance of a patent for the company's application filed on May 7, 2005, for MixSep™ purification process based on paramagnetic particles.
The MixSep™ is based on a rapidly changing direction of magnetic field which suspends and mixes magnetic particles without agitating the test medium. It provides superior mixing efficiency through a high collision frequency between particles and target to provide a high rate of affinity binding without fluid shear. Purification efficiency in terms of yield and purity are greatly improved over conventional techniques. The unique combination of mixing and separation function in a single compact mechanism significantly simplifies instrumentation development. This platform technology has a wide range of applications for the purification needs in molecular and cell biology.
