Abstract
The present technology relates to a customizable sample preparation device (e.g., liquid sample preparation device, such as a purification, clean-up, or separation device). In particular, the present technology relates to customizable devices formed from modular segments tailored to address one or more of the following: to optimize different sample and elution volumes, to incorporate various connection mechanisms to liquid handlers, to incorporate various liquid dispensing flow conditions, and to fulfill broad applications through the selection of specific resin for sample preparation. Some embodiments are directed to affinity capture devices, such as for example, Protein A affinity capture devices, utilizing a polymethacrylate-based resin. Other resins as well as other materials for processing a liquid sample are described herein.
