Diagnostic Assay Development – Materials, Reagents And CDMO - a rapidmicrobiology Special Focus
Diagnostic assay development is a critical process in the field of healthcare and biotechnology, aimed at creating tests that can accurately detect and diagnose various diseases and conditions. This development involves the use of specific materials, reagents, and the expertise of Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs).
In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) assay development and commercialization present challenges, but companies such as Zeptometrix® offer custom controls and raw materials to support the process of creating fit for purpose diagnostic assays.
In this special focus, Andrew Zenger, Global Product Manager at ZeptoMetrix, explains how third-party molecular controls are key to establishing clinical laboratory quality practices and ensuring regulatory compliance. Andrew also outlines considerations to bear in mind when selecting a supplier of third-party QC materials and explains why assay developers choose to partner with ZeptoMetrix throughout the assay development process.
Diagnostic assay developers can use inactivated, whole-organism QCs for antigen tests to better evaluate their assays' performance. A great example is the ZeptoMetrix PROtrol™ product line, designed for antigen-based diagnostic methods for infectious diseases, including lateral flow immunoassays.
Lyophilising your reagents as robust beads with a precise and constant dose offers significant advantages. These include enhanced test accuracy, production efficiency, and ease of transportation and storage. Discover the advantages of Biofortuna's lyophilised beads in this fascinating video, and download the application note for more details.
Assay developers will be interested in reading PCR Biosystems' latest product bulletin, which is now available for download. It outlines the key features and benefits of air drying and the performance of Air-Dryable Probe 1-Step Mix in both singleplex and multiplex assays before and after drying.
Building on its vast experience in manufacturing advanced therapies, Cytiva is tackling the industry challenges that hinder patient access and wider adoption of autologous CAR T cell therapies with the new Sefia cell therapy manufacturing platform.
Read about Gold Standard Diagnostics range of magnetic separation beads and latex agglutination tests to purify and detect E. coli O157, other STECs (Shiga Toxin-producing E. coli), and Shiga Toxins.
Maximize sample collection and elution with Puritan® Hydraflock® swabs. Specifically engineered for a wide range of biological specimens. HydraFlock’s three-dimensional microstructure design facilitates greater specimen collection. The multi-length fibers have a greater absorption area than traditional perpendicular nylon flock fibers for more rapid elution and maximal sample preservation. Ideal for a variety of clinical settings and diagnostic tests.
Third-party Molecular Controls Are Crucial to Accurate Testing in Clinical Laboratories
In this interview with Andrew Zenger, the Global Product Manager at ZeptoMetrix, we learn about how third-party molecular controls are key to developing clinical lab quality practices, regulatory compliance, and factors that labs should consider when choosing a supplier of third-party QC materials.
