Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of detecting at least one target biomolecule in at least one single cell comprising lysing the single cell or cells and performing a cell identification assay and target identification assay. Also disclosed herein are methods for preparing a sample for undergoing single cell analysis, wherein the single cell analysis comprises performing a cell identification assay and a target identification assay.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for the detection and quantification of nucleotide sequence variants, such as genetic polymorphisms, with decreased error and increased sensitivity, including single molecule detection. Detection of genetic polymorphisms, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), is highly useful for the study of physiology, disease, phylogeny and forensics. Current methods for the detection and identification of nucleic acid sequence variants, such as genetic polymorphisms, lack the sensitivity to accurately detect low incidence mutations, sequence variants or alleles. Detection techniques for highly multiplexed single molecule identification and quantification of analytes using optical systems are disclosed. Analytes include, but are not limited to, nucleic acid, such as DNA and RNA molecules, with and without modifications.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for detection and discrimination of optical signals from a densely packed substrate. There have broad applications for biomolecule detection near or below the diffraction limit of optical systems, including in improving the efficiency and accuracy or polynucleotide sequencing applications.

Abstract: Methods and materials are disclosed for use in recovering a biopolymer from a solution. In particular, the invention provides methods for extraction and isolation of nucleic acids from biological materials. The nucleic acids can be separated by forming a stable complex with soluble polysaccharide polymers and magnetic particles, in the presence of detergents and solvent. When the particles are magnetically separated out of the solution, the nucleic acids are separated with them. The nucleic acids can subsequently be released and separated from the particles. The nucleic acid preparation is useful for achieving efficient and accurate results in downstream molecular techniques such as quantification, identification of the source of the nucleic acids, and genotyping.

Abstract: A fluid processing device and methods are provided that can process one or many different fluid samples, detection for each of which can be multiplexed to detect the presence or absence of each of a panel of target sequences, for example 20 different target sequences. The device can comprise a substrate and one or more fluid processing pathways at least partially defined by the substrate. Each fluid processing pathway can comprise a pre-amplification region and two or more amplification regions disposed downstream from and in fluid communication with the pre-amplification region. A burstable valve can be disposed along each fluid processing pathway and the downstream regions can contain pre-loaded ammonia gas to draw an amplified sample downstream.
