By combining freeze-dried, cell-free (FD-CF) reaction pellets with DNA instructions for protein synthesis, therapeutics and other molecular tools can be manufactured on-site, on-demand with the simple addition of water, circumventing the need for cold-chain distribution and storage. The utility and versatility of this portable biomanufacturing platform was demonstrated for the production of a diverse range of products, including antimicrobial peptides, vaccines, antibodies and small molecules.
