Storage
Kit ships on dry ice. Upon receipt, all components of the RayBio® COVID-19 Rapid Isothermal PCR Kit should be stored at -20°C. If stored properly, the kit is good for up to 6 months.
The number of freeze-thaw cycles for the Master Mix (Item 1) and SARS-CoV-2 Synthetic RNA (Item 3) should be minimized. Upon thawing for the first time, these reagents should be aliquoted appropriately for future use and stored back at -20°C.
