How lyophilised reagent beads increase assay accuracy and speed to result
What are lyophilised reagent beads? Lyophilised reagent beads are durable spheres of freeze-dried material formed from accurately measured dispense volumes of customisable formulation. These single-dose beads – like lyophilised cakes – retain long-term stability at ambient temperature and therefore do not need expensive cold chain shipping or refrigeration during storage. This significantly increases the accessibility of diagnostic testing for difficult-to-reach

How lyophilised beads are revolutionising point of care testing
Point of Care Testing delivers the accuracy of laboratory testing without the wait Speed is critical when diagnosing. Clinicians must treat or manage the issue quickly and effectively. This urgency is particularly vital in cases of viral infection. Will the patient need to go to hospital and, if so, do they need to be treated in an isolation ward? Should
The benefits of lyophilising (freeze drying) and air drying
Whether you are lyophilising or air drying your assay, your ultimate goal is to stabilise it for transport and storage at ambient temperature without loss of functional performance. Get expert advice on freeze drying and air drying Both processes involve the removal of water to achieve this and enable you to: eliminate the need for cold chain storage extend
Why partner with a contract manufacturer to produce your assay?
Developing a new assay that will ultimately find commercial success is notoriously complex. To that effect, managing your manufacturing processes in-house may initially appear to be the most streamlined and snag-free route to market. After all, what could benefit your production cycle more than having everything under one roof, ready for immediate analysis, testing and shipping? In reality, overseeing
