Abstract: A device for biological sample preparation and analysis is disclosed. The device includes a substrate and a plurality of spaced apart arrays disposed on an upper surface of the substrate. Each array includes a plurality of reaction vessels, each reaction vessel having a hydrophilic surface. A hydrophilic ring surrounds each array. Methods of making and using the device are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods for performing multiple omics analysis in parallel are provided, the methods can include: dividing the mixture of cells or cell components into at least a first portion and a second portion; performing a first analysis on the first portion to acquire a first set of analytical data; performing a second analysis on the second portion to acquire a second set of analytical data. Methods for forming mixtures of analytes into first and second portions are also provided. The methods can include aligning the first and second plates to engage the first exposed surface with the second exposed surface, wherein the engaging is sufficient to convey at least some of the first analytes into the second solution to form a second mixture of the first analytes.

Abstract: A method whereby a mass spectra generated by a mass spectrometer is calibrated by shifting the parameters used by the spectrometer to assign masses to the spectra in a manner which reconciles the signal of ions within the spectra having equal mass but differing charge states, or by reconciling ions having known differences in mass to relative values consistent with those known differences. In this manner, the mass spectrometer is calibrated without the need for standards while allowing the generation of a highly accurate mass spectra by the instrument.
