In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Development

Dedicated insights and know-how to advance your med tech 

Confirm analytical validity and support development of credible evidence for clinical validity of your IVD.

Partner with experienced global regulatory experts to advance the development of your IVD.

Access comprehensive clinical validation design and execution services.

Enable an integrated approach for your in vitro diagnostic.

From the outset, our focus is on supporting you in your journey to commercialize an IVD that is accurate, easily administered and readily available to the patients who need it—and these requirements inform decisions related to development strategies as well as study design and execution.

Our diagnostic development professionals work with you to to design an optimized development pathway to meet your go-to-market objectives. This plan translates into a seamless flow of activities required for both efficient and successful product launch. Because regulatory considerations are infused into the plan, the evidence gathered will provide the edge you need in your product's target therapy area.

And, once your product is on the market, we're here to help you meet changing regulatory requirements and post-market study needs in a cost-effective manner.

Provide proof of analytical testing for your IVD

As your partner, we can design and oversee the delivery of analytical validation to the latest CLSI standards. Working with labs across the world, we'll ensure your product meets the criteria needed to advance to clinical validation:

  • Precision: Repeatability validation, reproducibility
  • Trueness: Reference measurement procedure or comparator (qualitative, quantitative, semi-quantitative assays); inclusivity and recovery (as appropriate)
  • Linearity
  • Sensitivity (blank, detection and quantitation limit analysis)
  • Specificity (interfaces with exogenous and endogenous substances, cross-reactivity and mixed measurands for multiplex assays)
  • Traceability
  • Analytical, extended and hook effect measuring interval
  • Carryover effect and cross-contamination
  • Reference interval and expected values
  • Matrix equivalence (as required)
  • Stability testing (reagents, controls, calibrators and sample stability)
  • Flex (stress) studies for CUA waivers

Clinically validate your IVD

Simplify your outsourcing needs with a single partner that can oversee your program from beginning to end. Your project leader will oversee your project and keep you informed throughout the process-so you can focus on other areas that need your attention.

Our clinical validation services include:

  • Feasibility studies
  • Clinical strategy development
  • Study design
  • Study operations
  • Safety monitoring and management
  • 数据管理
  • Biostatistical analyses
  • Clinical auditing
