Biomarker Preservation at Room Temperature
April 3, 2018 | Terry Sharrer
Quoting directly: “Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a method to preserve protein biomarkers in clinical samples, without the need for refrigeration. The technique relies on growing molecules called metal-organic frameworks around the proteins in the sample, potentially enabling clinicians in remote and low-resource settings to send patient samples long distances for analysis, using the regular mail service.” MORE
