摘要: The disclosure relates to devices, solutions and methods for collecting and processing samples of bodily fluids containing cells (as well as embodiments for the collection, and processing and/or analysis of other fluids including toxic and/or hazardous substances/fluids). In addition, the disclosure relates generally to function genomic studies and to the isolation and preservation of cells from saliva and other bodily fluids (e.g., urine), for cellular analysis. With respect to devices for collection of bodily fluids, some embodiments include two mating bodies, a cap and a tube (for example), where, in some embodiments, the cap includes a closed interior space for holding a sample preservative solution and mates with the tube to constitute the (closed) sample collection device. Upon mating, the preservation solution flows into the closed interior space to preserve cells in the bodily fluid. The tube is configured to receive a donor sample of bodily fluid (e.g., saliva, urine), which can then be subjected to processing to extract a plurality of cells. The plurality of cells can be further processed to isolate one and/or another cell type therefrom. The plurality of cells, as well as the isolated cell type(s), can be analyzed for functional genomic and epigenetic studies, as well as biomarker discovery.

摘要: A system, composition, method and kit for removing a detergent, such as an anionic detergent, from an aqueous solution, comprising a salt, a water immiscible alcohol of Formula I: R1—OH (Formula I) where R1 is an optionally substituted, linear, branched or cyclic C4-C12 alkyl; and a water immiscible halocarbon, wherein said halocarbon is miscible with said alcohol of Formula I. The system can be used on aqueous solutions that contain detergents (such as Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS), for example), and any detergent-associated or detergent-bound molecules that may be present in the aqueous solution, to form an aqueous phase and a non-aqueous phase, for effectively removing the detergent and any detergent-associated or detergent-bound molecules, and sequestering them into the non-aqueous phase.

摘要: A sample collection tool comprises a collection end configured for collecting a sample. Optionally, the sample is collected from within a body cavity of an animal without causing significant discomfort or injury to the animal. A first handle portion has a first end connected to the collection end and a second end. A second handle portion is connected to the second end of the first handle portion by a breakable connection. The second end of the first handle portion has at least one winglet. The at least one winglet is compliant in a preferential direction. The breakable connection is ruptured at least in part when the at least one winglet is forced in the preferential direction.
