Abstract:

The invention is a device for preserving genetic material for subsequent analysis. The genetic material is encapsulated into a plastic card (the device) by a process that preserves the integrity of the nucleic acid substances. The device is designed such that the genetic material can be easily recovered from the card allowing for the production of a DNA profile to aid in identification, which is the major purpose of the invention, however, the recovered nucleic acid substances can be used for many other purposes. The invention consists of the design of the plastic card device that serves to encapsulate genetic material entrapped within a matrix for secure long-term preservation.

Abstract:

Materials can be screened for carcinogenic properties by administering them to test animals and assaying biological tissue, preferably plasma, for the presence of a 60K cancer-associated phosphoprotein. The test is applicable to a wide range of chemically-diverse carcinogens and is not restricted to carcinogens having one particular mode of action.
