Leadgene Utilizes LEADSPHERE™ Lyophilization Technology to Make Reagents Stable for Long-Term Logistics
TAINAN, Taiwan, August 30, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Leadgene Biomedical, Inc., an ISO-certificated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) company that provides integrated service for in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) products from the development to manufacturing process, has announced the launch of its LEADSPHERE™ Lyophilization Technology to aid in the dispense, storage, and transport of reagents for use in biomolecule analysis tools.
"Leadgene has established a reputation for providing a comprehensive solution for biotech companies in the area of high-performance assay kits development," said Dr. Yung-Chun Chuang, Chairman of the Board and Chief Technology Officer of Leadgene, "LEADSPHERE™ Lyophilization Technology enables assay reagents to be stable in non-liquid form at room temperature, and allows for the assembling of the entire kit in a large-scale-production manner through a 'pick and place' automation system."
Numerous advantages of freeze-drying reagents in sphere format have been documented, with the most significant one being the ability to sustain the ingredients' activities at room temperature. LEADSPHERE™ Lyophilization Technology is an automated dispensing system composed of all the necessary parts to freeze dry materials in low volume (10~20 microliter). The final product is a stable lyophilized sphere with a consistent diameter of ~3 mm, and therefore, makes it suitable for all sizes of microplates and microtubes. A successful example that utilizes LEADSPHERE™ Lyophilization Technology is the LEADSPHERE™ Proteinase K, an endopeptidase used for nucleic acids sample preparation by digesting proteins and inactivating ribonuclease. The features of this product include:
- Facilitation of long-term logistics at room temperature.
- Ease in aliquoting and handling during the manufacturing process.
- Simplifying point-of-care protocol for end-users.
LEADSPHERE™ Proteinase K has been thoroughly used in applications to identify viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.
