Methods and systems for preparing and preserving biological samples are disclosed herein. A method comprises contacting a preserving agent with a biological sample to form a mixture, wherein the preserving agent is selected from at least one of a metal-organic framework (MOF) encapsulant or a precursor forming a MOF encapsulant, and wherein the biological sample comprises at least one target analyte. A system comprises a preserving agent selected from at least one of a metal-organic framework (MOF) encapsulant or a precursor forming a MOF encapsulant; and a substrate configured to receive a drop cast mixture of the preserving agent and a biological sample, wherein the biological sample comprises at least one target analyte.

Monoclonal antibodies specific for an antigen present on the surface of parathyroid tissue are useful in imaging such tissue when conjugated to suitable label. The antibodies of the invention bind exclusively to parathyroid surfaces and do not bind to other tissues. The antibodies are useful in establishing the location of the parathyroid whether in its normal location or in ectopic placements. An exemplary monoclonal has been deposited at the American Type Culture Collection and has accession number ATCC No. HB9917.
