Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to detection and, in particular, to detecting objects within a sample or fraction thereof.

Abstract: A reference slide and methods for making and using the same are considered. The reference slide comprises a reference section, which is an area or location of a substrate comprising one or more reference moieties. The one or more reference moieties, which represent one or more cell lines, comprise one or more distinguishable features. The distinguishable features can be the same as or different than distinguishable features of the sample or target analyte.

Abstract: Kits, compositions, and methods for labeling target materials or target analytes are considered. The composition can include one or more affinity molecules indirectly conjugated to one or more detection moieties. The kit can be used to detect a single biomarker or multiple biomarkers. The kit can be used to perform a single round of labeling or multiple rounds of labeling.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an apparatus, system and method for retrieving a target material from a suspension. A system includes a displacement fluid, a collector, and a primary vessel. In another implementation, the system includes a processing vessel, a displacement fluid, a collector, and a primary vessel.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an apparatus, system and method for retrieving a target material from a suspension. A system includes a processing vessel, such as an Eppendorf tube, a syringe or a test tube, and a collector. The collector is sized and shaped to fit into a primary vessel, such as a test tube. The collector funnels the target material from the suspension through a cannula and into the processing vessel. The cannula extends into a cavity at a first end of the collector that holds the processing vessel. The collector includes a funnel at a second end in fluid communication with the cannula. In one implementation, the processing vessel includes at least one displacement fluid to be expelled, such that the at least one displacement fluid pushes the target material into the collector.
