Life sciences product development and consulting at CC is unique. We combine deep biological knowledge and assay capabilities with advanced instrument and sensing design. And as a member of the NVIDIA deep learning service delivery programme, we can take your project to the cutting edge of AI and machine learning.

The future of analytical technology and molecular diagnostics

From molecular diagnostics to omics and analytical technology, we’re proud to work with many of the world’s leading life sciences companies. Our passion is inventing, progressing and helping to realise the next generation of life sciences product development. We have a unique, full-spectrum assay-to-insight approach that allows you to bring truly novel and game-changing products, services and systems to market. To put that in perspective, it is our radical technology innovation that sits at the heart of the world’s first FDA-approved over-the-counter COVID-19 test. 

Our approach to life sciences consulting is truly collaborative. We love to assemble multidisciplinary teams of talented engineers and scientists from our global locations to stretch the boundaries of what’s considered possible. Talk to us about bringing your breakthrough technology, biology or analytics to the world. 

The world’s first molecular electronics chip

Roswell and CC collaborated to develop the world’s first molecular electronics chip for healthcare diagnostics. Roswell has ‘digitised biology’ enabling a sample to be placed on a chip that can run multiple tests, transforming the diagnostics industry from one-test-one-result to one-test-many-results. The aim is to enable people to test in the comfort of their homes.

Life sciences product development facilities 

CC is uniquely placed to put world-class in-house life sciences facilities at your disposal. Our labs and research spaces in the UK, US and Asia cover the full development spectrum – from fundamental biology and chemistry and sensor and analytical instrument design to AI and ML to interpret complex data. Mechanical, electrical and software engineering goes hand-in-hand with human factor and industrial design. It allows us to support you at every stage – accelerating the journey from invention and design to development and manufacture.
生命科学实验室

生命科学实验室

我们专门为在受控和管制的环境中处理和试验药物、受管制物质、生物危害物和人类样本而设计了一系列严格管理的 II 类实验室。我们的仪器室配备了计量、显微镜和产品测试设备,可以对原型和产品实施严格的验证和品控。 

微流体实验室

微流体实验室

我们微流体实验室可以提供洁净的环境快速制造出聚二甲基硅氧烷 (PDMS) 微流体设备的原型。我们也使用最先进的显微镜光学来检查工作中的检测试剂盒,并使用 Spraytec 激光衍射系统来测量粒径分布。 

光学实验室

光学实验室

我们有完整的光学实验室,可以建立复杂的、高精度的、通常用于测试原型设计以及在部署新技术对其进行测试的光学布局。实验室设有六个高规格的光学工作台,附带大功率(4 级)激光作业的可配置型互锁控制区以及用于实施进行干涉测量、光谱、低噪声荧光成像和光子计数的专业设施。实验室空间可以被划分成若干个独立的激光控制区域以同时开展多项实验,使得我们的光学工程师在开发富有创意的解决方案的过程中不受仪器限制。 

数字温室

数字温室

数字温室(Digital Greenhouse) 是我们专门建造的人工智能研究院,其初衷就是要营造一个快速、安全的环境用以发掘、开发和测试机器学习方法。值得称道的是,该研究院配置了一台 NVIDIA DGX-1 深度学习超级计算机和一组机器学习计算机,拥有拍字节级(PB)的本地存储和每秒数万亿次浮点运算的专用计算能力。
