Lyophilization

Lyophilization is the process of removing water from a sample at low temperature. This low-temperature dehydration process maximizes product or sample stability and shelf life, maintains chemical or biological function, and enables easier transportation and storage compared to a cold chain. Lyophilization process has applications in assay kit development, where it enables room-temperature shipping and storage of reagents and complete assays.

Advantages of lyophilization

• Enhancing the stability of a dry powder as well as the product stability in a dry state

• Save costs with simplify shipping and packaging

• Retain the activity of the original formula by removing water without having to heat the product excessively

• Dissolution of reconstituted product (rapidly and easily)

• Lyophilized reagents that are easy to match with the one-step reaction design

• Simplify assay setup

• Increase assay robustness and reliability

• Reduce the risk of sample contamination
