Assay Verification in POC Medical Devices

Interference Testing, Strategy, and Detection Case Study The importance of performing assay verification BEFORE incorporation into a medical device can not be overstated. Countless hours and dollars can be wasted designing the perfect device if the detection assay fails in the field. Successful Point-of-Care (POC) medical devices increasingly rely on new and innovative analyte detection […]

Tips for using simulated fluids when testing medical devices

Designing equipment (medical or otherwise) is a complicated process. This complexity is increased when the equipment of choice must either come in contact with biological material, or function within a biological environment. In order for a device to operate as intended, it must be able to withstand the unique conditions that biological fluids impose. Depending […]
