| abstract |
Compositions and methods for storage, tracking, recovery and automated analysis of biological samples are described, including dry storage at ambient temperatures of nucleic acids, proteins (including enzymes), and cells using a dry storage matrix that allows the recovery of biologically active materials; Biological sample storage devices with RFID tags characterize the matrices that can be dissolved or dissociated that are described for use as biological sample carriers, whose matrices can be dried and substantially hydrated again for sample recovery; systems and methods implemented by computer for the administration of sample data are also described. |
