Assay Development Services
Rapid, Reliable, and Regulatory-Ready Assay Development Tailored to Your Diagnostic Goals
Rapid Point-of-Care Diagnostics

We specialize in assay development services for rapid point-of-care diagnostics. Whether you’re starting with a concept or refining an existing prototype, our team delivers scientifically rigorous, application-specific assays ready for scale-up and regulatory submission.
With over four decades of combined experience, we’ve developed lateral flow, ELISA, flow-through, and microfluidic assays across human, veterinary, environmental, food safety, and pharmaceutical applications. We act as your CDMO partner – not just a vendor – ensuring every assay we build meets your performance goals, regulatory requirements, and commercial realities.
Our Assay Development Services
We evaluate your target, use case, and sample matrix to create a custom assay plan. Whether qualitative or quantitative, visual or fluorescent, single- or multiplexed – we develop for performance and manufacturability from the start.
From custom nanoparticles to proprietary conjugates, we optimize reagents to improve signal, specificity, and consistency across lots.
Iterative development cycles allow us to rapidly prototype and refine assay formats -minimizing time and cost while validating key design elements.
We run precision studies to optimize signal-to-noise ratio, detection thresholds, and assay stability. Our goal is simple: develop assays that are sensitive, specific, robust, and reproducible.
We design with downstream scalability in mind, ensuring materials, formats, and workflows align with GMP manufacturing and automated production.
