Cyclic draining and replenishing (cdr) antibody reaction apparatus
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230204566A1) describes a CDR antibody reaction apparatus. The apparatus includes a chamber part where an antibody solution is received and a blotting membrane that reacts with the antibody solution is placed. Additionally, there is a spreader located on the blotting membrane in the chamber part, and its position can move along the top of the blotting membrane.
The purpose of the spreader is to evenly spread the antibody solution on the blotting membrane as it moves. This ensures that the reaction between the antibody solution and the membrane is uniform. Furthermore, the apparatus allows for the removal of the antibody solution from areas of the blotting membrane where the spreader is not located above. This helps in controlling the distribution of the solution and prevents wastage.
The chamber part of the apparatus includes a partition that separates the inner space. This partition helps in organizing the components and ensures efficient operation. Additionally, the chamber part is equipped with protrusions on both sides of the inner bottom surface. These protrusions restrict the movements of the spreader and the mounted membrane by a predetermined distance, ensuring precise positioning.
The apparatus also includes a pair of locking projections at the front and rear of at least one side of the chamber part. These projections have a receiving groove in which the end of the spreader is received. This allows the spreader to move back and forth in the space between the receiving grooves, providing flexibility in its motion.
Importantly, the spreader is designed to be located on the top of the blotting membrane without directly contacting it. This prevents any potential damage to the membrane during the spreading process.
The top of the chamber part is provided with discharge grooves that have a narrower width toward the front. This design facilitates the controlled flow and removal of excess solution from the apparatus.
Lastly, the patent claims that there can be one or more spreaders in the apparatus, allowing for scalability and customization based on the specific requirements of the antibody reaction.
Overall, this patent describes an innovative CDR antibody reaction apparatus that ensures even spreading of the antibody solution on a blotting membrane, controlled distribution of the solution, and precise positioning of the components.
