In this Mol Bio Minutes episode, Thermo Fisher Scientific's Dr. Agnė Alminaitė unveils an exciting new approach for assay developers: Dry-Ready™ reagents for RT-LAMP and RT-qPCR. These innovations eliminate the need for lyophilizers by enabling air drying of molecular assays in a standard heating oven, producing room temperature-stable assays in under two hours.

Agnė walks listeners through how Dry-Ready differs from traditional Lyo-Ready™ and lyophilization methods, while delivering similar stability and performance. She explains the critical role of thermostable enzymes and specially developed excipient mixes that protect enzyme function during the drying process.

The episode introduces two new kits: the Dry-Ready™ RT-LAMP Kit, ideal for flexible assay development and point-of-care settings, and the one-step Dry-Ready™ RT-qPCR Kit, a powerful tool for simplified, dual-function reactions. Both kits are customizable and empower even small labs to stabilize assays without complex equipment.

Whether you're commercializing a kit or looking to simplify your workflow, this episode offers actionable insight into next-generation assay stabilization. And don't miss the special promo code below!
