Arizona State University received a $353,601 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) beginning May 8, 2026 and concluding April 30, 2029. The project focuses on advanced development and validation of aliquot-level visual indicators to detect biospecimen exposure to thawed conditions. The deliverables center on creating user-friendly, cost-effective color-changing chemical trackers based on a permanganate/oxalate reaction system that can detect inappropriate temperature exposure at specific thresholds (-18°C, -37°C, and -67°C). This work builds upon a previously awarded National Cancer Institute Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) R21 grant and aims to address the substantial problem of pre-analytical sample handling improprieties that generate costly false research leads in biomedical research. The project addresses a critical quality assurance and quality control gap in biospecimen management by providing evidence-based tracking tools that are easy to implement at the individual aliquot level. By enabling researchers to readily identify whether biospecimens have been exposed to inappropriately warm storage conditions, these visual indicators are expected to significantly improve biospecimen quality tracking practices and reduce the research inefficiencies and costs associated with compromised biological samples. The work will be performed at Arizona State University's Tempe, Arizona facility under the oversight of the Arizona Board of Regents.Federal Grant Award Summary
