Reagent-Loaded Pencils

Reagent-Loaded Pencils and Methods Need: Drying of reagents directly on assay devices leads to reagent failure in many instances (eg. denaturing). Drying of reagents directly on assay devices leads to short shelf life of reagents, even if they are functional when first deposited. Drying of some reagents on assay devices leads to immobility due to...
