Assay Development Services

Rapid, Reliable, and Regulatory-Ready Assay Development Tailored to Your Diagnostic Goals

Rapid Point-of-Care Diagnostics

Assay Development Services

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

Feasibility & Design Strategy
Feasibility & Design Strategy

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.

Reagent Selection & Conjugation
Reagent Selection & Conjugation

From custom nanoparticles to proprietary conjugates, we optimize reagents to improve signal, specificity, and consistency across lots.

Assay Prototyping
Assay Prototyping

Iterative development cycles allow us to rapidly prototype and refine assay formats -minimizing time and cost while validating key design elements.

Performance Optimization
Performance Optimization

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.

Manufacturing Compatibility
Manufacturing Compatibility

We design with downstream scalability in mind, ensuring materials, formats, and workflows align with GMP manufacturing and automated production.
