Assay development · lyophilization
Custom assays and single-dose dried reagents for diagnostics.
We turn your reagents and components into precise, durable beads that stay stable at room temperature, and we can dry them as cakes, inside microfluidic cartridges, or onto porous materials.
Every cycle is designed around the formulation it dries
We work with
- Antibodies and antigens
- Proteins
- Nucleic acids
- Magnetic beads
- Fluorescent dyes
What we do
From assay design to a dried, ready-to-use format
Custom assay development
We develop diagnostic assays with the dried format in mind from day one, so the chemistry doesn't have to be reworked later.
Single-dose reagent beads
Your reagent mix, dispensed and freeze-dried into precise spheres that stay stable at room temperature.
Lyo-cakes
Conventional freeze-dried cakes in tubes or cartridges when a bead isn't the right fit.
In-cartridge and porous-material drying
Reagents freeze-dried directly inside microfluidic cartridges, or onto porous materials, to fit your device.
Lyophilization process development
Freeze-drying recipes developed and documented for your formulation, ready to repeat.
Packaging and formats
Dried reagents packed the way your workflow uses them.
New product line
Blank qPCR master mix beads
Ready-made, freeze-dried qPCR beads that hold everything a reaction needs except your primers, probe and template. They are built on enzymes, master mixes, excipients and additives chosen to survive drying.
- Skip the slow, costly work of choosing enzymes and excipients
- Shorter process development and validation
- Much lower risk of losing sensitivity or stability when you dry
Why dried beads
Long shelf life
Dried reagents stay stable for far longer than liquids.
No cold chain
Store and ship at room temperature instead of frozen or chilled.
Lower cost
Drying beads costs less than freeze-drying reagents inside finished cartridges.
Less waste
Beads are tested before cartridge assembly, so a bad reaction doesn't cost a whole multiplex cartridge.
Far less shelf space
Beads take about a hundredth of the freeze-dryer shelf space that whole cartridges need.
