Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for selective capture and release of target particles, e.g., living cells, from liquid samples, e.g., blood, are provided. The particle capture systems include a substrate; a first layer of gelatin bound to the substrate by physical adsorption, wherein the gelatin is functionalized with a plurality of first members of a binding pair; a second layer of gelatin wherein the gelatin is functionalized with a plurality of the first members of the binding pair and the second layer is bound to the first layer via a plurality of second members of the binding pair that are associated with the first members of the binding pair on both the first and the second layers; and a plurality of nanostructures bound to the second members of the binding pair and to one or more particle-binding moieties that selectively bind to the target particles.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to ice nucleation formulations for cryopreservation and stabilization of biologics, and methods of use thereof.

Abstract: This disclosure is related to methods of preserving biological samples, organs, and organisms. This disclosure is based, at least in part, on the discovery that in the presence of heterogenous extracellular ice, endothelial cells have improved attachment and viability after preservation, and particularly by uniformly nucleating ice across the microvasculature using ice nucleating agents, the chance of intracelluar ice formation can be significantly reduced.

Abstract: Methods and systems for selectively capturing analytes, such as cells, e.g., circulating tumor cells (CTCs), from fluid samples are disclosed. The methods include contacting the sample with an analyte binding moiety that selectively binds to the analytes; optionally separating first components of the sample including a majority of the analytes bound to the binding moieties from second components of the sample using size-based separation, e.g.
