Abstract: A storage device includes a housing, a non-volatile memory disposed within the housing, and an interface operatively connected to the housing for communicating with a computing device to provide access to the non-volatile memory to the computing device. The storage device further includes a tray comprising a bio-sample storage area for storing bio-samples and a gasket for sealing the bio-sample storage area within the housing for storage. In a closed position, the tray is sealed within the housing by the gasket and wherein in an open position, the bio-sample storage area is exposed and accessible.

Abstract: An integral digital memory storage device having a standard form factor to be received by and communicating with a computing device and having memory capability for storage of digital data. An integral multiwell DNA sample tray is carried in a body of the memory storage device for protection and exposed by manipulation of the case for receiving DNA samples.
