    摘要: Saliva sample collection systems are configured with special attention to ease-of-use for the unskilled user and safe transport and delivery by a conventional delivery services such as Federal Express. A sealed cavity is formed by tight coupling of two primary elements: a receiving vessel element and a sealing cap element. The receiving vessel has integrated therewith: a standing means, a fill-line window, a funnel system, a knife, a threadset, and containment tube among others. A complementary cap element includes a cooperating threadset, label receiving surface, gripping surface, seal means and reservoir with piercable thin-film membrane. These two primary elements may be accommodated in an application-specific shipping container which support two shipping modes whereby the system may be shipped safely to and from a donor user each way in a different shipping mode.

    摘要: A computer alert to system and apparatus is arranged about DNA sequence markers whereby the genome of a specific human subject is considered in view of a plurality of discrete rules to affect alerts which may be generated and transmitted in electronic form over standardized e-mail systems (Internet/SMTP protocol for example) to a user workstation which may be equipped with a browser or custom application (includes a special genome viewers, review tools; etc.). Alerting systems described in this disclosure included mechanical/a chemical systems for analyzing a human DNA sample to produce a genomic data set representing genetic indicators or markers on alleles of interest including those as well SNPs associated with important trial traits disease and characteristics. A genome dataset is stored as a portion of a data a record having a one-to-one correspondence with membership in a membership database. A dynamic rules that of its reality of discrete rules provides a query engine with logic which can be executed against membership data stored in accordance with standardized database procedures to produce a genomic result set from which appropriate alerts may be formed in an alert to module computer apparatus. These alerts may be characterized as including multimedia information and they may be prefer to play conveyed to membership with whom the underlying data is associated.

    摘要: Biological sample collection kits are devised with physical features to enable a high performance collection system which delivers preprocessed biological matter via conventional shipping means to a testing laboratories. In particular, untrained and unskilled users deposit biological matter such as saliva or blood into a receiving vessel. By sealing the container, the user causes release of a premixed solution containing preservatives and optionally lysis reagents. In addition, a purification agent is arranged to bind to target molecules and facilitate their removal from solution. These time consuming processes occur while the sample is in transit to the testing facility such that when it arrives, it is in a preconditioned state immediately ready for execution of washing steps. Thus, the high performance containers taught herein are useful for collection biological samples and performing initial process steps on received matter—steps which are largely effected during the shipping stage of the transfer process.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are devised and provided to receive genetic material from a human test subject and further to characterize that genetic material into an electronic representation of a genome. In particular, with respect to many genetic features which relate to diet, nutrition and exercise with a view to weight control. Based upon the presence of certain genetic features, genetic markers or polymorphisms, a rules based logic path is executed to arrive at a action plan set of recommendations. These recommendations relate to lifestyle actions which may be taken up by a person and these actions thus relate to that person's particular genetic composition. These apparatus and methods produce an easy-to-consume visual presentation describing genetic based traits and conditions, the personal status of a test subject as it relates to these genetic dependent traits and conditions, and possible lifestyle actions which may be performed by the user.

    摘要: Blood sample collection apparatus and kits are devised as easy-to-use, reduced pain devices operable by persons not having medical training or other expertise or knowledge. A flexible strip having adhesives on two portions of a first side accommodate therebetween and absorbent pad and substrate with microstructures. The substrate includes microstructures arranged to gently penetrate or pierce skin and cause a small amount of blood to pass to the external surface of a user's flesh. An absorbent pad receives and absorbs a blood sample therein. The absorbent pad may additionally support a plurality of chemical agents which further advances mobility of blood in the collection system. These chemical agents may include anticoagulants and blood anticlotting agents to facilitate blood transfer from a donor to the absorbent pad. Additionally, these systems may also include a blood preservative to stabilize blood collected for an extended shipping and transfer period. These blood sample collection systems may further include a numbing agent to improve comfort of use.

    摘要: Systems have been devised for health management based upon genetic markers. Specifically, systems are arranged to compute genetic risk for several factors relating to metabolism and weight gain in view of various genotypes at particular markers in an individual's genome. An algorithm which depends upon these risk calculations and in further view of the presence of additional variants in the genome under test is executed to arrive at a diet type selection for the particular user. In additions to diet type selections, specific supporting diet related recommendations related to eating behaviors, food reactions and nutritional needs, based upon markers found in the genetic profile, are additionally included in a diet action plan.
