Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Free-flow counterflow gradient focusing (FF-CGF) is a promising tool for protein fractionation. This work establishes guidelines to construct an FF-CGF system suitable for preparative applications. Numerical and analytical computations are undertaken to investigate design parameters, including device geometry, flow conditions, sample concentration, and applied voltage. This collective information serves as a design tool to guide the fabrication of the device, which, in this case, is constructed from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and double-sided tape. Furthermore, the design tool also supports device operation and provides insights into the expected resolution and throughput. Experimental results, which demonstrated the ability of the designed chip to generate a uniform counterflow gradient while separating small molecules and proteins, validated the accuracy of the design guidelines.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
