Some of our areas of expertise include:

Diagnostic instrument development

Employing system engineering techniques at the beginning of your programme, our multidisciplinary teams of mechanical, electronic & software engineers, optical physicists, chemists, fluidics specialists and industrial designers are able to produce better products. Working within a regulatory framework this ensures the seamless integration of the assay and instrument enabling development to proceed to launch swiftly and smoothly.

Consumable development

As a leader in diagnostics engineering we maintain an up to date knowledge of the latest developments in assay technologies and their overall impact on the system architecture of your product. With this knowledge, together with our optical specialists, we are able to design and develop low cost consumables suitable for volume production that maximise the potential of your assay.

Process and automation

We are specialists in production engineering and are able to design, develop and build production lines for high volume manufacture. By implementing technical cost modelling techniques we are able to provide early design optimisation and the development of a supply chain that is appropriate to your global production needs.

Technical due diligence

Companies often need to determine the state of a project or product, either as part of a health check or as part of an acquisition. Using our extensive experience and core competencies we are able to quickly and professionally review and report on the status or a project, produce a risk assessment and indicate a recovery plan.
