20120308987 | MATRICES AND MEDIA FOR STORAGE AND STABILIZATION OF BIOMOLECULES - The present invention provides compositions useful for biomolecule storage comprising a water soluble inorganic compound, a stabilizer, or a combination thereof. The present invention also provides methods of using the compositions of the invention to store biomolecules in the dry state and in solution, as well as sample carriers and kits comprising compositions of the invention. | 12-06-2012 |
20120138862 | NANOPARTICLES USEFUL FOR BIOMOLECULE STORAGE - The present invention provides a composition useful for biomolecule storage comprising a population of nanoparticles. It also provides methods of storing a biomolecule and containers comprising the composition. | 06-07-2012 |
20120100522 | STABILIZED CHEMICAL DEHYDRATION OF BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL - The present invention provides compositions and methods that enable the stabilization and storage of samples by contacting a sample with an assembly of particles, and reducing the water activity level of the contacted sample. By reducing the water activity level of the sample, the assembly of particles minimizes the degradation of the sample. Stabilizers may or may not be added to the assembly of particles to further minimize the degradation of the sample. Subsequently to storage in the assembly of particles, the samples are recoverable by eluting the assembly of particles with a fluid solution. In one embodiment, the entire assembly of particles will dissolve into the solution. In another embodiment, only part of the assembly of particles will dissolve into the solution. The assembly of particles provides the advantage that while it is porous, it comprises non-porous particulate material. | 04-26-2012 |
20110256530 | PRODUCTS AND METHODS FOR TISSUE PRESERVATION - The present application relates to methods for increasing stability of formalin fixed, optionally paraffin embedded biological material. In one example, DNAse inhibitors and/or RNAse inhibitors are combined with the biological material or formalin at the time of fixation or shortly prior. | 10-20-2011 |
20100248363 | MATRICES AND MEDIA FOR STORAGE AND STABILIZATION OF BIOMOLECULES - The present invention provides compositions useful for biomolecule storage comprising a water soluble inorganic compound, a stabilizer, or a combination thereof. The present invention also provides methods of using the compositions of the invention to store biomolecules in the dry state and in solution, as well as sample carriers and kits comprising compositions of the invention. | 09-30-2010 |
20100218623 | SAMPLE CARRIER SYSTEM - A sample carrier generally comprises a sample node and an identifier co-located with the sample node. A sample node may be operative to carry a discrete sample, while an identifier may be operative to provide information associated with the sample carried by the sample node. Embodiments of a sample carrier may comprise a plurality of sample nodes supported in a predetermined spatial relationship relative to a respective sample container such as a respective well of a multi-well plate. A system and method of transferring specimens to a sample carrier include contacting a sample node to the specimen and encoding information associated with the specimen on the identifier. Various alternatives are disclosed wherein the specimen is solid, gaseous, and liquid in form. | 09-02-2010 |
20100178210 | STABLE PROTEIN STORAGE AND STABLE NUCLEIC ACID STORAGE IN RECOVERABLE FORM - The invention provides compositions and methods for storage of biomolecules. The biomolecules are stored via absorption to a substrate. Absorbed biomolecules can be eluted or recovered from the substrate at a future time, and optionally be subjected to a subsequent analysis or application. Biomolecules absorbed to a substrate for storage may also optionally be preserved, i.e., the absorbed biomolecule is resistant to or resists degradation. | 07-15-2010 |
20100173392 | ROOM TEMPERATURE ELUTION OF NUCLEIC ACIDS - The present invention provides compositions and methods for efficient recovery of nucleic acids, in particular DNA, from storage media. The present invention provides a method for using an alkaline elution buffer and mechanical agitation to elute nucleic acids from dried samples on storage media at room temperature. In particular, the present invention provides a method for room temperature recovery of DNA, including double stranded DNA (dsDNA) and single stranded (ssDNA), from storage media. The eluted DNA is suitable for numerous downstream applications | 07-08-2010 |
20100167376 | METHODS FOR PROVIDING CELLULAR LYSATES FROM CELL WALL-CONTAINING SAMPLES - The present invention provides methods useful for making lysates from cell wall-containing cellular samples, including plant tissue samples and cultures of yeast or bacteria. The invention further provides compositions (e.g., solutions) that can be used in the methods of the invention, and kits comprising solutions and/or other reagents useful for carrying out the methods of the invention. | 07-01-2010 |
20100092948 | BIOLOGICAL BAR CODE - The invention provides compositions and methods useful for identifying, verifying or authenticating any type of sample, whether the sample, is biological or non-biological. | 04-15-2010 |
20100075858 | BIOLOGICAL BAR CODE - The invention provides coding compositions comprising mixtures of coding oligonucleotides and methods of using such compositions to code samples. The compositions and methods are useful for identifying, verifying, or authenticating any type of sample, whether the sample is biological or non-biological. | 03-25-2010 |
