Abstract

A system to reduce moisture in a device having at least one integrated desiccant housing to hold desiccant materials. The integrated desiccant housing protects a desiccant bag or tablet from being damaged in the process of packaging, transporting and storing the device. In particular, an diagnostic assay tray assembly having sample wells with active biochemical coatings can be better preserved by implementing one or a plurality of integrated desiccant housing therein.
