STABLE PROTEIN STORAGE AND STABLE NUCLEIC ACID STORAGE IN RECOVERABLE FORM
First Claim
1. A storage unit having a plurality of compartments, each compartment having a physical size sufficient for holding individual elutable porous or semi-porous elastomeric substrates, and an elutable porous or semi-porous elastomeric substrate, wherein said elutable porous or semi-porous elastomeric substrate is suitable for absorbing a peptide or nucleic acid and for elution or recovery of the absorbed peptide or absorbed nucleic acid.

Abstract
The invention provides compositions and methods for storage of biomolecules. The biomolecules are stored via absorption to a substrate. Absorbed biomolecules can be eluted or recovered from the substrate at a future time, and optionally be subjected to a subsequent analysis or application. Biomolecules absorbed to a substrate for storage may also optionally be preserved, i.e., the absorbed biomolecule is resistant to or resists degradation.
