ABSTRACT:
A reagent container having an inner surface upon which at least two reagents are dried, with the first reagent dried on a first area separate from a second area where the second reagent is dried. The first and second reagents are a nucleic acid polymerase and its substrate. A method is disclosed which includes dispensing at least the first and second reagents onto separate areas of the inner surface of the reagent container, and removing excess water from the reagents. The reagent container can be used in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay, an assay that utilizes a reverse transcriptase, a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, an immuno-PCR assay, a nucleic acid sequence based assay, a proximity ligation assay, a ligase chain reaction assay, a rolling circle amplification assay, and a strand displacement amplification assay.
