We work with a wide range of clients to deliver innovative diagnostics solutions, offering the ideal development resource for you whether you are a start-up company looking to develop or scale-up a new technology, or a market leading multinational looking to exploit the next opportunity.

Our expertise ranges from concept generation and first-principle design such as thermal and fluid flow modeling, through micro-fluidic design within high volume consumables, culminating in complex automated instrumentation.

Focusing on PoC diagnostics, our extensive experience and established processes along with ISO 13485 certification enables us to bring new developments to market quickly and cost effectively.

Typical developments include:

• Design, development, and transfer to manufacture of a real-time PCR instrument and consumable for use in the PoC environment
• Micro-fluidic design and implementation within high-volume PoC consumable
• Thermal and optical modeling of the key component within a highly complex PoC consumable. Resulting in a production ready design suitable for high volume manufacture
• Optimal design for moisture exclusion and the protection of freeze-dried reagents within a moulded consumable
• Structured product challenge process based on concept generation and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) principles to generate significant cost savings and quality improvements in a complex hand-held diagnostic device
• In-house assay developments including; a toxicity assay on the Luminex system, development of a coded bead technology based upon surface functionalisation and attachment chemistry.

We also undertake work at the front end, and frequently investigate areas such as market trends, Voice of the Customer activities, strategic partner identification, and technical due diligence.

Our proven quality system and consulting infrastructure allows us to routinely develop and deliver products, often coordinating the activities of multiple third parties, into a highly regulated marketplace meeting very aggressive timescales.

We regularly provide rapid transfer to manufacture, utilising our Hong Kong office to select and manage the preferred local partner. In this way we provide a complete product development service that is able to add true value at each stage of the development lifecycle.
