We are ISO 13485-certified, deliver validated methods, complete documentation, and audit-ready reports – ready for Notified Bodies and competent authorities.
Maximum Flexibility
Whether automated analysis or manual fine-tuning for demanding matrices and special samples – we adapt our processes to your requirements.
Uncompromising Safety
We work in a BSL-2 laboratory, and our ISO 13485-compliant processes ensure industry-standard practices for the safe handling of all materials.
Innovation and Decision-Ready Expertise
Our method comparisons and feasibility analyses provide clear, decision-ready evidence for platform selection and assay design decisions.
Our services in detail
Contract Analytical Testing & Applications
All services at a glance – jump straight to the topic you need.
The right design for every question
Contract Testing and Studies
From first hypothesis to conformity assessment – get the empirical foundation your development decisions rely on. Using state-of-the-art automated platforms for clinical chemistry and immunoassays, as well as methods such as ELISA and RT‑PCR, we identify the right measurement design for your study.
Exploratory Studies
Validate new development directions before committing resources. We test your hypotheses and new approaches – for example with human and animal serum samples – giving you a solid foundation for your next development step.
Feasibility Studies (Proof of Concept)
Identify risks before they become costly. A feasibility study under defined conditions gives you clarity on technical viability – so you can invest in larger studies with confidence.
Analyses from Small Sample Volumes
Get more from every sample. Even minimal volumes yield multiple parameters – conserving your valuable material while maximising the information content per sample.
Analytical and Clinical Performance Studies
Build the evidence base your submission needs. We evaluate the performance of your product (e.g. precision, sensitivity, specificity) and deliver all data compiled and ready for your Performance Study Report.
Point-of-Care Testing
Prove your product works where it matters most. Testing under real-world conditions demonstrates suitability directly in the target setting – giving you robust evidence for your intended use claim.
Multicentre Studies
Demonstrate reproducibility across sites – a key requirement for regulatory submissions. As your central laboratory or study partner, we ensure consistent, comparable results wherever your study runs.
Materials and processes that make your data reliable
Sample Preparation and Control Materials
The quality of your measurement results depends on the quality of the samples. We prepare your materials to accurately reflect your real-world conditions – for valid, reproducible data, even with small sample volumes.
Sample Preparation & Panel Assembly
- Assembly of customised sample panels for reproducible and comparable measurement runs
- Precise dilution, mixing, and enrichment of biomarkers, proteins, or other analytes
- Preparation of exact concentrations across different matrices to meet your study requirements
- Aliquoting for parallel analyses or long-term storage to optimise material use
- Handling of minimal volumes down to the microlitre range to preserve rare or valuable samples
- Ensuring homogeneity and quality of panels for reduced variability and greater reliability of results
Production of Reference & Control Samples
- Production of tailored reference and control materials
- Support for calibration, quality control, and proficiency testing
- Ensuring reliable results and consistent comparability across your measurements
Microbiology & Cell Culture
- Cultivation and propagation of cell lines and bacterial strains under controlled conditions
- Cell counting to ensure defined cell numbers
- Provision of cell-based assays
- Production of cell culture-based reference samples for realistic and reproducible testing conditions
Precision at the Microlitre Scale
Did you know? Thanks to our expertise and state-of-the-art technologies, we perform reliable analyses using sample volumes in the microlitre range. This conserves your valuable material and enables us to perform measurements that may not be possible elsewhere.
The Right Method for Every Requirement
From comparing different test systems to optimising existing methods, we combine a broad range of technologies with analytical precision and ensure that your assay performs optimally on the target system.
If you need to compare a new measurement method with an established standard, our method comparison provides an objective benchmark for your specific analytical question. We systematically analyse concordance and discrepancies between methods. Results are prepared in a format ready for direct integration into your technical documentation.
Whether automated, semi-automated, or manual – we select exactly the test setup that best suits your application. With modern platforms such as Roche cobas®, we enable efficient high-throughput testing, while our experts apply targeted manual precision for demanding matrices. This allows us to work with small sample volumes in the microlitre range and preserve scarce or particularly valuable samples through optimised procedures.
We analyse whether your test reagents perform reliably on the intended target instruments. We verify functionality on the target system, confirm system compatibility prior to routine use, and support seamless technology transfer. Through targeted optimisation, systematic verification, and fine-tuning, we enhance the performance and reliability of your existing test procedures.
Strategic Consulting and Operational Support for Your IVD Studies
Good data is the beginning – but regulatory confidence, sound analyses, and compelling reports determine the success of your study. We support you from the initial idea through to study completion.
- Study and measurement design, Proof of Concept: We sharpen your research questions, develop appropriate study designs, and ensure efficient use of resources.
- Biostatistics consulting: We support you in statistical planning and evaluation – scientifically sound, robust, and audit-ready for regulatory requirements.
- Documentation and data transfer: We ensure complete, traceable documentation and structured data provision – audit- and submission-ready.
- Final report: We deliver a clearly structured, scientifically precise, and regulatory-ready summary of your study findings.
Complex studies and limited sample volumes require a partner who understands your needs – not one that simply generates measurement data points. With our scientific expertise and flexibility, we contribute to the success of your project. That is our commitment – driven by our standards and passion for keeping your studies in good hands.
