Q:

What temperature should the MycoAlert® Assay be run at?

A:

Optimal assay working temperature for all components is 18°C-22°C (for MycoAlert® Assay) and 20-22°C (for MycoAlert® PLUS Assay). In case room temperature significantly deviates from this optimal temperature range, it is recommended to use a water bath set to optimal temperature.
