Abstract
This project aimed to automate part of the lyophilization process for point-of-care diagnostic devices using a customizable 3D-printed device. The rig effectively reduces reagent handling time while maintaining structural integrity comparable to traditional manual methods. By improving efficiency and reproducibility of reagent production, fabrication of diagnostic devices can become scalable and more accessible.
