Bio-CaRGOS: capture and release gels for optimized storage of hemoglobin.

ABSTRACT: Room temperature biospecimen storage for prolonged periods is essential to eliminate energy consumption by ultra-low freezing or refrigeration-based storage techniques. State of the art practices that sufficiently minimize the direct or hidden costs associated with cold-chain logistics include ambient temperature storage of biospecimens (i.e., DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids) in the dry state. However, the biospecimens are still well-exposed to the stress associated with drying and reconstitution cycles, which augments the pre-analytical degradation of biospecimens prior to their downstream processing. An aqueous storage solution that can eliminate these stresses which are correlated to several cycles of drying/rehydration or freezing of biospecimens, is yet to be achieved by any current
