Pack Aging Diagnostic Reagents with Confidence

D iagnostic companies are facing ever-increasing pressures to deliver new products safely and efficiently. With diagnostic reagents as the basis of any experimental protocol, it is essential that they remain highly pure and that the potential for any contamination is minimized. Reagent packaging has commonly taken the form of glass bottles and containers, which have a well-known mode of failure: they break and shatter. This poses a significant hazard in terms of spilled reagents and exposed sharp edges. More recently, plastic has been introduced as a safer packaging material — it’s resistant to breakage, and plastic bottles are lighter and more durable, making them an ideal alternative to glass.
