Abstract
The present disclosure describes a method of processing a biological sample. The method includes contacting the sample with a pH indicator that changes color in response to changes in pH. The presence of a pH indicator such as cresol red provides the benefit of improved visualization of the sample, verification that the sample is properly frozen and thawed, and increased precision in pH adjustments during the assay, among other benefits.
