ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method and a formulation for the stabilization of an enzyme for storage at temperatures above freezing. Specifically, the invention involves the use of formulated excipients that when added to an enzyme or mixture of enzymes and subsequently lyophilized renders stability. Upon reconstitution, the stabilized materials are useful in assays, diagnostic or molecular biology research kits, and other biological applications.
