There is an increasing need for the development of technologies for handling human specimens in an all ambient workflow at point-of-care, laboratory and field settings without sacrificing the quality of molecular analytes contained in patient samples. Biomatrica has developed sample biostabilization technology that eliminates the need for cold chain transport and storage of specimens, resulting in significant cost savings for the diagnostic laboratory workflow. Data will be presented to demonstrate that such biostabilized nucleic acid samples retain near-native quality and quantity compared to fresh samples and can also be used for molecular diagnostics based on comprehensive genomic data generated by next-gen sequencing platforms. Biomatrica’s biostabilization based complete ambient diagnostic workflow holds great promise for molecular diagnostic applications in a point of care setting.
