Zusammenfassung:Compositions and methods are disclosed for substantially dry storage at ambient temperatures of biological samples such as nucleic acids and cells in a form from which nucleic acids can be recovered, using a dissolvable or dissociable dry storage matrix that permits recovery of biologically active materials. Compositions and methods are also disclosed for automated storing, tracking retrieving and analyzing of nucleic acid samples. RFID-tagged biological sample storage devices featuring dissolvable or dissociable matrices are described for use as supports of biological samples, which matrices can be dried and subsequently rehydrated for sample recovery. Also disclosed are computer-implemented systems and methods for managing sample data.
