Assay Development Process
Overview
Custom Assay Development
We provide a phased approach to the product development cycle, and you can choose to utilize our services at any level. Just use us for feasibility and prototyping, or stay with us all the way to manufacturing and commercialization. We will custom design a program specifically for you.
Our Development Philosophy
We aim to deliver the highest possible performance in the shortest possible time, by focusing on all elements of the assay system from sample collection and handling to assay development, manufacturing process design, and assay interpretation. Our strategy of partnering with providers of high quality assay components, from strip materials to signal reagents and cassettes, manufacturing equipment, sample handling equipment, and readers, provides us with a unique ability to integrate all of the required elements of a high performance assay system for our clients. We can develop your strip, or we can develop an entire assay system for you.
Assay Formats and Sample Types
We work with any required format of lateral flow, flow through or microfluidic based immunoassay. We have broad experience with qualitative, semi quantitative and fully quantitative assays, based on gold, latex, fluorescence or magnetics.
Our team has developed assays for virtually every type of analyte in all conceivable matrices, and applications have ranged from human and animal diagnostics, to agriculture, forensics, biowarfare, food microbiology, aquaculture and environmental testing to name a few.
