Feature 1: Consumables Kit

The consumable kit consists of PCR plates, tubes, seals, caps, and strips. This kit is key to ensuring optimal cycling performance in the real-time PCR machine. The components that the consumable kit is comprised of are economical and easy to use, as well as more or less durable. However, must be in good condition to house the DNA and reagents for accurate data. For this reason, the packaging must be readdressed. The main issue of packaging is the temperature and aggressive handling that can directly impact the effectiveness of the consumables kit. To address this issue, each component of the kit must be individually packaged, and the liquid reagents must be insulated in the packaging in order to prevent any issues that could arise from being exposed to high temperatures.

The components of the consumables package must be packaged individually to prevent any damages that could arise during shipping. Though it would become more expensive to ship, the packages would be much more durable and there would be less damage to important pieces such as the PCR plate or strips.

Additionally, the liquid reagents for the PCR have an ideal temperature range that it must be stored at to preserve the liquid. Ideally, the packaging for the reagents would be insulated in the package to prevent the temperature fluctuations of external environments to render the liquid reagents useless. The most affordable method of insulation for the liquid reagents during packaging would be styrofoam. By shipping these liquids in styrofoam, the impact of external factors on the package will be significantly reduced.
