Technologies and Products

  • We support diagnostic products based on different technologies (e.g. molecular, immunology, artificial intelligence, next generation sequencing, etc.) on various platforms and formats (e.g. rapid diagnostic tests (RDT), point of care (POC), high throughput testing, etc.).

  • We advise on tests and ancillary devices intended for “in house” use, or distributed as research use only (RUO), investigational use (IUO), or in vitro diagnostics (IVDs), either as CLIA or CLIA waived.
