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 […]
An expensive pitfall when developing or optimizing a point-of-care device is to jump straight into using clinical samples to steer early design development. Developing or optimizing a point-of-care device is a multi-faceted process.
Keep your project on time, within budget Testing medical devices in a Biolab often requires changing locations from an engineering lab to a Biosecurity Level 2 (BSL2) BioLab that can facilitate specialized tests involving potentially dangerous microorganisms, tissues and biological fluids. Careful pre-planning is required for timely experiments to take place in BSL2 BioLabs. Poorly […]
Medical devices such as glucose meters, stents or dialysis equipment (to name a few) require intimate contact with biological material. They must either interact with bodily fluids, or function within a biological environment. This blog provides 5 of the most common simulated biological fluid recipes to aide in medical device development.
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 […]
