Shipping and storing temperature sensitive reagents and biomolecules often requires costly investments in the cold chain or time-consuming, burdensome, and outdated techniques such as lyophilization and cryopreservation.
WE HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION—
AND IT’S AMBIENT
Ambient Biosciences Stabilization
Ambient Biosciences Stabilization offers a superior alternative to lyophilization for producing shelf-stable reagents. Our gentle, freeze-free process stabilizes even the most sensitive biomolecules in a fraction of the time. Simply mix your reagent with our buffer, pipette the solution onto the scaffold, and place into the Ambient Bio chamber. It only takes an hour to achieve ambient temperature stabilization— or, let our experts handle it for you.
Wave goodbye to complicated lyophilization development programs and freezer maintenance. Instead, enjoy easy room-temperature storage that boosts profits and keeps customers happy.

Our team collaborated with Ambient Biosciences to validate their ambient temperature storage technology for stabilization of monoclonal antibody biophysical properties and binding characteristics. The platform not only offers excellent performance compared to frozen storage, but provides cost and sustainability benefits as well. We believe this represents a potential breakthrough for ambient temperature storage, life cycle management, and global shipment of critical reagents, with broad application in biotherapeutics R&D.
In collaboration with Ambient Biosciences, we evaluated CMV-stabilized reagents for ease of use and functionality. While the convenience, cost savings, and sustainability aspects of ambiently shipped and stored reagents were major pluses, the technology really shined in multiplexed applications like flow cytometry. Although the format differed from standard liquid reagents, the method was easy-to-learn, and the pre-prepared reagents would likely result in fewer experimental errors and better data quality.
AssayQuant’s Phosphosens Technology relies heavily on cold chain distribution due to the temperature-sensitive components in our assay. Ambient Bio’s CMV technology enabled AssayQuant to develop an assay format that can be shipped at room temperature and simplifies the assay components onto a single scaffold. Ambient Bio’s technology has created new opportunities for the AssayQuant platform.
Storage and transportation of cellular specimens can be challenging due to the logistical complexities associated with the required cold chain and the high risk of temperature excursions degrading the materials. We were able to leverage Ambient Bio’s novel stabilization technology to successfully stabilize and store cell lysates for downstream analyses including RNA sequencing. The technology’s unique ability to stabilize highly complex matrices demonstrates its advantages for specimen shipping and bio repository applications.
