Diagnostics and assay development

Lateral flow assay materials and lab-on-disc development support.

MicroCD Labs helps teams source diagnostic materials, plan assay workflows, evaluate cartridges, and prepare research-use kits or early product-development packages.

Diagnostic focus LFIA materials, pads, membranes, assay cartridges, lab-on-disc workflows, RUO kits, kinetic assay enhancement, and product-development planning.

Development path

Connect assay needs to parts, workflow, and evidence.

The strongest meeting signal is that diagnostics teams need more than a shopping cart. They need material selection, assay context, documentation, automation readiness, and a route toward reproducible testing.

Vendor-neutral diagnostic consumables, rapid test housings, pads, membranes, and assay materials

Materials and consumables

Support for nitrocellulose membranes, sample pads, conjugate pads, absorbent pads, housings, and RUO kit planning.

Diagnostic lab-on-chip device for assay development planning

Cartridge and assay workflow

Translate assay requirements into cartridge features, fluidic paths, sample handling, timing, and test-ready workflows.

Vendor-neutral service and kit materials for microfluidic research workflows

Commercialization support

Prepare supplier comparisons, technical memos, QMS-readiness questions, and partner packages for early diagnostics development.

MicroCD Labs role

A practical technical layer for diagnostic teams

Assay materials Shortlist LFIA membranes, pads, plastics, cartridges, and compatible sample-handling supplies.
Lab-on-disc expertise Apply centrifugal microfluidics and cartridge-development experience to early workflow design.
Image-based analysis Use endpoint and kinetic signal analysis to evaluate low-concentration assay behavior during development.
Partner-ready documentation Organize requirements, protocol notes, supplier questions, and technical context for OEM or regulatory-support discussions.
Endpoint versus kinetic analysis comparison for weak positive capillary diagnostic assay detection

Research foundation

Kinetic assay enhancement for low-concentration detection.

A MicroCD Labs-aligned preprint is available online on Preprints.org: Improving Detection Limits in Capillary Diagnostic Assays Through Kinetic Image Analysis and Time-Resolved Signal Extraction. The work supports our specialty in time-resolved signal extraction, endpoint versus kinetic readout comparison, blank and low-positive behavior, SNR evolution, and low-concentration assay feasibility.
