Quantabio Unveils a New Line of Eco-Friendly Lyophilized Products

— November 13, 2024 — Tech
Quantabio has introduced the eQo 1-Step ToughMix kit. Designed to enhance operational efficiency in molecular workflows, the eQo product line is presented in a lyophilized, bead-based format, offering a groundbreaking eco-friendly solution for molecular labs.

In addition to lowering transportation costs, this packaging format significantly reduces the environmental footprint by minimizing waste and energy usage in shipping and storage.

“The new eQo product line is the culmination of years of research and development and ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, high-performing products that reduce our carbon footprint and improve sustainability,” said David Schuster, Head of R&D at Quantabio. “The new kit includes the latest ToughMix chemistry that further enhances assay sensitivity and performance, all in a more convenient and environmentally friendly package [...],”
