(A) Droplet for drying, positioned on the disk planar surface without a storage chamber. The air–liquid interface is defined by the properties of the drying buffer and its contact angle on the cartridge surface. (B) Droplet for drying in a dedicated storage chamber on the disk. The size of the air–liquid interface is reduced. (C) Multipurpose chamber (orange) with storage chamber (gray) and detection area (black circle). The storage chamber has a volume of 5 µL and includes a ramp that supports the flow of beads radially outwards after resuspension.

(a) Schematic illustration of LDL isolation system consisting of tandemly connected C6S and anti-apoB-100 disks: (1) introduction of plasma sample using a syringe pump, (2) two monolithic disk columns immobilized with C6S and anti-apoB-100 mAb in a housing cartridge, and (3) collection of the flow-through plasma. (b) Separate desorption of the C6S disk bound molecules with NH₄OH (0.28 M, pH 11.5) (top) and anti-apoB-100 disk molecules with carbonate-bicarbonate solution (0.1 M, pH 11.3) (bottom). VLDL and IDL were collected from the C6S disk, while LDL was desorbed specifically from the anti-apoB-100 disk.
