Enabling room temperature shipping and storage through compatibility of RapiDxFire qPCR 5X Master Mix GF with lyophilisation

Lyophilization, or freeze drying, is a low-temperature dehydration that involves freezing a reagent at a low temperature, lowering pressure, and then removing any ice by sublimation. The resultant product is either a bead or a cake-like substance and, after rehydration, can be used the same way as before lyophilization. In this application note, LGC Bioresearch Technologies illustrates the suitability of the RapiDxFire^™ qPCR 5X Master Mix for lyophilization, and the downstream applicability of this mix to a broader scope of molecular diagnostics workflows.
