    Abstract: A thermocycler apparatus and method for rapidly performing the PCR process employs at least two thermoelectric modules which are in substantial spatial opposition with an interior space present between opposing modules. One or multiple sample vessels are placed in between the modules such that the vessels are subjected to temperature cycling by the modules. The sample vessels have a minimal internal dimension that is substantially perpendicular to the modules that facilitates rapid temperature cycling. In embodiments of the invention the sample vessels may be deformable between a) a shape having a wide mouth to facilitate filling and removing of sample fluids from the vessel, and b) a shape which is thinner for conforming to the sample cavity or interior space between the thermoelectric modules of the thermocycler for more rapid heat transfer.

    Abstract: A thermocycling device (10) and method of operating in which at least one first temperature sensor (1060) monitors a first temperature condition within the sample holder (64) and is adapted to provide a first electrical signal corresponding with the first temperature condition. In addition, at least one second temperature sensor (87) monitors a second temperature condition of a component external of the sample holder and is adapted to provide a second signal corresponding with the second temperature condition. At least one control device is adapted to interface with a power supply (1010) to control the delivery of power to a first thermal cycling element (60) and a second thermal cycling element (62), (both of which may sandwich a sample holder) and optionally an air mover (54); adapted to be in signaling communication with the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor; is configured for analysis of signals from the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor and; is configured such that, based upon such analysis, the at least one control device alters the power that is delivered to one or more of the first thermal cycling element and second thermal cycling element, and/or the air mover. The device Is controllably operated to account for thermal inertia effects.

    Abstract: A method for preserving and processing nucleic acids located within a blood sample is disclosed, wherein a blood sample containing nucleic acids is treated to reduce both blood cell lysis and nuclease activity within the blood sample. The treatment of the sample aids in increasing the integrity and amount of cellular nucleic acids that can be identified and tested while avoiding contamination of the isolated nucleic acids with cell -free nucleic acids. The preferred compositions for preserving and processing contain diazolidinyl urea (DU), EDTA, aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA), glyceraldehyde and sodium floride.

    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of preparing a protein sample for proteomic analysis. In exemplary embodiments, the method comprises (a) contacting a blood sample comprising proteins with a protective agent comprising an anticoagulant (AC) and an aldehyde releaser (AR), to obtain a mixture, optionally, wherein the blood sample is added to a blood collection tube (BCT) comprising the protective agent, and (b) isolating a fraction comprising proteins or a source of proteins from the mixture to yield a protein sample or a source of a protein sample, wherein steps of the method are carried out in the absence of exogenous proteolytic enzyme inhibitors, wherein the protein sample is suitable for proteomic analysis. Preferably, the protective agent consists of essentially (i) about 300 g/l to about 700 g/l imidazolidinyl urea; (ii) about 20 g/l to about 60 g/l glycine; and (iii) about 60 g/l to about 100 g/l EDTA; and the the protein sample is analysed via mass spectrometry-based proteomic methods.
