Lyo-Ready & Air-Dryable Master Mixes & Reagents

Molecular diagnostic tests are progressively moving towards lyophilized and air-dried formats. There are several advantages for this, including room temperature shipping and storage, extended shelf-life, and increased flexibility in sample volume. However, to be compatible with drying, enzyme preparations must be glycerol-free and include specialized excipients that preserve the mixture as it is exposed to various conditions, including freezing, temperature ramps, vacuum, and dehydration. An ideal lyophilization formulation, for example, should stabilize an enzyme in a freeze-dried format and allow very fast rehydration and reactivation of the enzyme preparations without impacting its performance post rehydration. An ideal formulation should stabilize an enzyme in a freeze-dried or air-dried format and allow fast rehydration and reactivation of the enzyme preparations without impacting its performance post rehydration.

Meridian offers general and sample specific master mixes and glycerol-free enzymes and buffers for the preparation of both lyophilization and air-drying of your assays.
