Our Assay Development Process

1
Feasibility & Prototyping

Assay development begins. Reagent and materials selected; functional prototype system created.

Fully verified assay system ready for transfer to manufacturing.

Entire system transferred to manufacturing at client site or contract manufacturer. 

Validation lots produced; product ready to launch.

Rapid Diagnostic Labels and Reporting for Assay Development

We offer a range of advanced labeling systems, including visual and fluorescent labels, to ensure optimal performance for your specific diagnostic requirements. Our visual labels provide clear, easy-to-interpret results without the need for specialized equipment, while our fluorescent labels offer enhanced sensitivity and specificity for a more accurate and reliable readout.

Manufacturing

DCN Dx develops every diagnostic product with manufacturing in mind. Products move seamlessly from development to scale-up to manufacturing in our ISO facility.
