  National Aeronautics And Space Administration
  NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
  TO ADDRESS NASA'S NEED FOR A METHOD TO PRESERVE HUMAN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES, MOSTLY BLOOD AND URINE, FROM ASTRONAUTS COLLECTED DURING FLIGHT UNDER AMBIENT CONDITIONS, CHROMOLOGIC (CL) HAS DEVELOPED A NOVEL FLUID PRESERVATION SYSTEM (FPS). FPS IS BASED ON COLLECTING AND SEALING FLUIDS IN A STERILE, HERMETICALLY SEALED VOLUME, WITH AUTOMATIC SEPARATION OF SUPERNATANT FLUID WHERE NECESSARY. THE UNIQUE MICROFLUIDIC AND MEDICAL EXPERTISE OF CL SCIENTISTS HAS RESULTED IN AN INNOVATIVE AND LIGHTWEIGHT FLUID STORAGE SYSTEM THAT UTILIZES COMPACT AND RUGGED MICROFLUIDIC CHIPS AND NOVEL VALVE TECHNOLOGY THAT ARE CAPABLE OF PROCESSING ~10ML OF SAMPLES IN A FEW MINUTES USING ON-BOARD PROCESSING EQUIPMENT. IN PHASE I CL HAS DEMONSTRATED THE FEASIBILITY OF THE FPS TECHNOLOGY BY BUILDING PROTOTYPE CHIPS AND DEMONSTRATING THE PROOF OF CONCEPT OF PUMPING, SEPARATION, STORAGE AND PRESERVATION. THE FPS HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO BE ABLE TO STORE BLOOD PLASMA AT ROOM TEMPERATURE FOR 54+ DAYS. IN PHASE II CL WILL DEVELOP A FULLY FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM THAT WILL BE FDA APPROVED AND SPACE QUALIFIED.

  National Aeronautics And Space Administration
  NASA SHARED SERVICES CENTER
  TO ADDRESS NASA'S NEED FOR ALTERNATIVE METHODS FOR AMBIENT PRESERVATION OF HUMAN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES COLLECTED DURING EXTENDED SPACEFLIGHT AND PLANETARY OPERATIONS, CHROMOLOGIC (CL) PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A NOVEL BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE AMBIENT PRESERVATION (BIOSAP) DEVICE. BIOSAP DEVICE IS BASED ON AN IMPROVED DRIED BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS STORAGE APPROACH AND SPECIALIZED MATRIX TO (1) COLLECT A KNOWN AMOUNT OF BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES, (2) RAPIDLY CAPTURE AND STABILIZE THEM, (3) PROTECT THEM FROM BIODEGRADATION, (4) DECREASE DRYING TIME, AND (5) INCREASE RECOVERY. THE UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY AND EXPERTISE OF CL SCIENTISTS WILL RESULT IN AN INNOVATIVE, RELIABLE, COMPACT AND LOW-COST METHOD OF COLLECTING AND PRESERVING DRIED BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. THE UNIQUE PORTABLE DESIGN OF THE BIOSAP DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY POWER SOURCE AND IT IS UTILIZABLE DURING FLIGHT AND MISSION. IN PHASE I, CL WILL DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE BIOSAP DEVICE BY FABRICATING A PROTOTYPE DEVICE CAPABLE OF CAPTURING AND STABILIZING A SUBSET OF TARGET ANALYTES THROUGH A RAPID DRYING PROCESS. IN PHASE II, CL PLANS TO VALIDATE, REFINE AND OPTIMIZE THE DESIGN OF THE BIOSAP TO ALLOW FOR FUTURE INTEGRATION WITH POST-MISSION ANALYSIS METHODOLOGIES.
