Abstract
Formulations for dry storage of PCR reagents are described. These formulations find use in manufacture of self-contained microfluidic card devices for PCR clinical testing in which the reagents are reconstituted at the point of testing. In these cards, TAQ polymerase is stored 'on-board' in vitrified dry form without lyophilization or freezing, and is reconstituted by either the sample or a sample eluate during the assay.
