Tag: lyophilised assays

Lyophilisation is becoming increasingly popular with IVD test manufacturers looking to simplify assay handling and processing. This article outlines the key considerations when developing a freeze-dried IVD test and discusses some of the strategies which can be used to ensure rapid, successful and cost-effective assay development. What is lyophilisation? Lyophilisation is the process of removing water from a product toRead more

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
