    摘要: Methods, devices and kits for sampling, releasing and stabilizing nucleic acid, including RNA and DNA, from virus, bacteria yeast and other cells is described. The released and stabilized nucleic acid may be analyzed and quantified without further sample preparation at the point of care or may be transported to a testing laboratory by shipment and analyzed directly. The nucleic acid, which can be RNA, remains safe and stable so that shipping by normal means including government postal service may be used. In addition, the RNA sample remains stable so that analysis can be performed immediately after receipt of sample or after storage for days, weeks or months. Storage may be at room or ambient temperature or cooler temperatures. The sampling apparatus used to acquire samples can interface with nucleic detection and measurement instrumentation including high throughput, parallel processing instruments.

    摘要: Breath liquid particles and vapor are captured in a device presenting a surface and chamber space that condenses or freezes the vapor and aerosol particulates. One or more breaths are exhaled through the device. Capture can be performed on the freezing surface immobilizing water upon contact. The chamber space within the device may freeze or condense liquid breath particles and vapor to collect them. After collection, the liquid is gathered and collected either by draining, scraping, pushing, or centrifugal force. The liquid may be collected and combined with a sample preparation reagent such as a virus lysing reagent, an internal standard, etc. After collection, the sample is analyzed. Analysis may be performed by PCR, qPCR RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, LAMP, RPA or any nucleic acid detection method, lateral antigen mass spectrometry, spectrophotometry or any analytical tool or method. Nucleic acid amplification reagents may contain a lysing reagent such as acetonitrile.

After collection, the liquid is gathered and collected either by draining, scraping, pushing, or centrifugal force. The liquid may be collected and combined with a sample preparation reagent such as a virus lysing reagent, an internal standard, etc. After collection, the sample is separated into a plurality of independently analyzable units for detection and quantification of a target. Analysis may be performed by PCR, qPCR RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, LAMP, RPA or any nucleic acid detection method, lateral antigen mass spectrometry, spectrophotometry or any analytical tool or method. Nucleic acid amplification reagents may contain a lysing reagent such as acetonitrile.

The chamber space within the device may freeze liquid breath particles and vapor to collect them. After collection, the liquid is gathered and collected either by draining, pushing, or centrifugal force into a vial. The liquid may be collected and combined with a sample preparation reagent such as a virus lysing reagent, an internal standard, etc. After collection, the sample is analyzed.
