  Bio Break: Understanding Limit of Detection and Limit of Quantification in Assay Development

  Dive into the world of assay development with this informative episode of Bio Break, where Nick and Joris explore two critical concepts: Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantification (LOQ). These terms might sound similar, but their implications for clinical diagnostics and medical devices are vastly different. Whether you’re an engineer, researcher, or product developer, this video sheds light on why both LOD and LOQ are vital in ensuring the precision and reliability of diagnostic tests.

  Medical Device Optical Breadboard Prototype Tips

  Tips for building a medical device optical breadboard prototype. When designing a medical device made of complex, multi-functional mutually interacting subsystems it’s best to de-risk those subsystems instead of coming up with a paper design, assembling it, and hoping it works first time. De-risking individual subsystem behaviours one at a time enables more-focused assessments and improves troubleshooting.
