Published purpose

Reagent unitization and stabilization by lyophilization will enable the production of pre-dispensed and manipulatable reagents in assay cartridges that are shelf stable at room temperature. This will simplify assay setup for end users, while increasing assay precision and reliability and decreasing the risk of accidental sample contamination. The proposed project will examine various lyophilization protocols and combinations of possible excipients to generate dried reagents in uniform beads that preserve reagent activity and can readily be reconstituted in buffer during use. The project will also cover the development of quality control metrics.
