The presently disclosed subject matter provides methods of isolating biomarker cells from a liquid sample, and related methods of capturing DNA or RNA released from biomarker cells.

Methods of isolating biomarker cells

The presently disclosed subject matter provides dual-depth thermoplastic microfluidic devices, related kits, microfluidic systems comprising the dual-depth thermoplastic microfluidic device, methods of isolating nucleic acid analytes from a liquid sample, and methods of isolating extracellular vesicles from a liquid sample.

Dual-depth thermoplastic microfluidic device and related systems and methods

Provided herein are formulations and methods for the stabilization of one or more thrombocytes at ambient temperatures. Also provided are formulations and methods for the stabilization of one or more thrombocytes in an inactivated state in a blood sample at ambient temperatures. Further provided are articles of manufacture and kits and methods for substantially stable storage of one or more thrombocyte at ambient temperatures.

Stabilization of thrombocytes at ambient temperatures

Compositions and methods are disclosed for substantially liquid, gel, suspension, slurry, semisolid and/or colloid storage of biological samples following admixture with the herein disclosed storage composition, permitting substantial recovery of biological activity following storage without refrigeration. In certain embodiments, unfractionated blood or tissue samples may be stored without refrigeration for weeks, months or years in a form that permits recovery of intact DNA, RNA or protein components following the storage period.

Compositions for stabilizing DNA, RNA, and proteins in blood and other biological samples during shipping and storage at ambient temperatures

Compositions and methods are disclosed for substantially liquid, gel, suspension, slurry, semisolid and/or colloid storage of biological samples following admixture with the herein disclosed storage composition, permitting substantial recovery of biological activity following storage without refrigeration. In certain embodiments, unfractionated saliva samples may be stored without refrigeration for weeks, months or years in a form that permits recovery of intact DNA following the storage period.

Compositions for stabilizing DNA, RNA and proteins in saliva and other biological samples during shipping and storage at ambient temperatures

Described herein are stabilized polymerase compositions comprising a polymerase and an polymerase stabilizing agent, such as a non-detergent zwitterionic stabilizer or a cationic ester disclosed, for use in nucleic acid amplification or nucleic acid sequencing. Compositions are provided for the stabilization of one or more polymerases in a single stabilized liquid formulation. Also disclosed are methods for making and using stabilized polymerase compositions and kits for nucleic acid amplification and sequencing comprising the stabilized polymerase compositions provided.

Formulations and methods for stabilizing PCR reagents

Compositions and methods are disclosed for substantially liquid, gel, suspension, slurry, semisolid and/or colloid storage of biological samples following admixture with the herein disclosed storage composition, permitting substantial recovery of biological activity following storage without refrigeration. In certain embodiments, unfractionated blood or tissue samples may be stored without refrigeration in a form that permits recovery of intact DNA or RNA components following the storage period.

Compositions for stabilizing DNA and RNA in blood and other biological samples during shipping and storage at ambient temperatures

Compositions and methods are disclosed for automated storing, tracking, retrieving and analyzing biological samples, including dry storage at ambient temperatures of nucleic acids, proteins (including enzymes), and cells using a dry storage matrix that permits recovery of biologically active materials. RFID-tagged biological sample storage devices featuring dissolvable or dissociable matrices are described for use as supports of biological samples, which matrices can be dried and subsequently rehydrated for sample recovery. Also disclosed are computer-implemented systems and methods for managing sample data.

Integration of sample storage and sample management for life science

Compositions and methods are disclosed for substantially dry storage at ambient or elevated temperatures of biological samples such as nucleic acids, proteins and cells in a form from which the samples can be substantially recovered, using a dissolvable or dissociable dry storage matrix comprising a borate composition and a stabilizer as disclosed, such as any of a number of zwitterionic stabilizers.
