EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 29, 2013--
SurModics IVD, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SurModics, Inc.
(NASDAQ:SRDX) and a market leader for in
vitro diagnostic assay components, is launching its new StabilZyme®
Protein-Free Stabilizer today at the American Association for
Clinical Chemistry (AACC) meeting in Houston.
“This newest addition to SurModics’ stabilization line is significant
for assay developers because it helps even their most sensitive assays
function optimally,” says Gary Maharaj, CEO and president. “Assay
developers have been asking for a top performing, protein-free
stabilizer that addresses their growing needs in the areas of
sensitivity, specificity and reliability.”
Assays have become increasingly sensitive in recent years. However, the
protein stabilizers most commonly used to stabilize biomolecule activity
may contribute to interference and cross-reactivity. SurModics’ new StabilZyme
Protein-Free Stabilizer delivers excellent retained activity—a key
performance factor—while eliminating the risk of interference and
cross-reactivity.
SurModics IVD offers a full range of innovative solutions, including
custom formulations, for the in vitro diagnostics industry. To
