Unprecedented flexibility and convenience
EcoDry premixes are lyophilized master mixes complete with enzymes, hot-start antibody, optimized PCR buffer, and dNTPs, which are individually packaged in 8-tube strips that can be used separately or all at once. Simply reconstitute the master mix by adding PCR-grade water along with your template and primers. This saves time and reduces the risk of contamination and pipetting errors. Lyophilized products can be stored for months at room temperature. They are perfect for field work, where accessibility and efficiency are a must.
Eco-friendly room temperature shipment and storage
Lyophilized premixes are stable at room temperature, so cold storage in the refrigerator or freezer is not needed. Moreover, the eco-friendly premixes do not require shipment in Styrofoam containers. That means fewer lab plastics and Styrofoam containers end up in landfills, and less energy is required for storage—so your environmental impact is reduced.

1.06 | Sustaining science through green initiatives
Science can be sustainable. For example, the University of Washington—located near temperate rainforests—is home to top laboratories that are not only generating new discoveries but also lots of trash. UW's Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability program encourages the use of energy-saving, waste-reducing reagents that are shipped and stored at room temperature, such as EcoDry products. Reducing fuel consumption and landfill waste: That's Good Science!
