Abstract: In one aspect of the present disclosure is a targeted sequencing workflow where an input sample comprising a sufficient quantity of genomic material is provided such minimal or no amplification cycles are utilized prior to sequencing.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to automated systems including a microfluidic chip having one or more independently operable processing conduits. In some embodiments, the automated systems are suitable for use in sample cleanup and/or target enrichment processes, such as sample cleanup and/or target enrichment processes conducted prior to sequencing.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for enrichment of at least one target nucleic acid in a library of nucleic acids. A first oligonucleotide is hybridized to a target nucleic acid in library of nucleic acids having first and second adapters. The hybridized first oligonucleotide is extended with a first polymerase, thereby producing a first primer extension complex including the target nucleic acid and the extended first oligonucleotide. The first primer extension complex is captured, enriched relative to the library of nucleic acids, and a second oligonucleotide is hybridized to the target nucleic acid. The hybridized second oligonucleotide is extended with a second polymerase, thereby producing a second primer extension complex including the target nucleic acid and the extended second oligonucleotide and further liberating the extended first oligonucleotide from the first primer extension complex.

Abstract: Medical device packaging, medical device packaging assemblies, and methods for preparing and packaging medical devices. An example medical device packaging assembly may include an external package, a carrier tube disposed within the external package, the carrier tube including one or more clips configured to hold the carrier tube in a predetermined configuration, a medical device disposed within the carrier tube, and a moisture or oxygen scavenging packet releasably coupled to one of the one or more clips. The moisture or oxygen scavenging packet may comprise an outer barrier pouch, an inner container disposed within the outer barrier pouch, and a desiccant and/or an oxygen scavenging material disposed within the inner container.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to compositions, kits, and methods of and methods which facilitate the amplification of a unidirectional primer extension product. In particular, the compositions, kits, and methods described herein facilitate the amplification of a unidirectional primer extension product without the need to incorporate a second polymerase chain reaction primer binding target on a distal end of an initial single-stranded nucleic acid molecule primer extension product.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for depleting target nucleic acids from a nucleic acid sample. In one aspect, a kit according to the present disclosure includes a plurality of DNA probes. Each of the DNA probes is hybridizable to form a heteroduplex with at least one of a plurality of target RNA transcripts in a nucleic acid sample. The number of unique target RNA transcripts hybridized by the plurality of DNA probes is at least three. The kit further includes an enzyme having RNA-DNA hybrid ribonucleotidohydrolase activity, where degrades at least the RNA portion of the heteroduplex.

Abstract: A system for charging an onboard battery of a medical device prior to use of the medical device may include a package configured to accommodate the medical device therein. A power source may be disposed relative to the package and may be capable of charging the onboard battery of the medical device prior to use of the medical device. The system may be capable of being subjected to a sterilization process with the power source disposed within the second cavity. In some instances, the power source is uncharged during sterilization. In some cases, the power source is encapsulated or otherwise sealed during sterilization.
