Smart Consumables Manufactured for IVD Markets

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 08 Aug 2011
Smart consumables will be developed and manufactured for the life science and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) markets; the new generation of diagnostic tests will be based on single molecule array (SiMoA) technology.

Production of the Quanterix (Cambridge, MA, USA) SiMoA disc marks the first diagnostic consumable whose assay technology is based on optical disc formats by Sony DADC (Salzburg, Austria). More...
The manufacturing company uses proven high precision and high volume manufacturing processes, which it has pioneered for CD, DVD, and Blu-ray disc.

Quanterix plans to develop and manufacture a fully automated instrument for its SiMoA technology, which will utilize these "smart consumables" to support a menu of diagnostic tests. Quanterix expects to launch the life science instrument and consumables in 2013, followed by an IVD platform to be commercialized in 2014.

"We selected Sony DADC as our consumables partner because they are the clear world leader in the micro structuring and manufacturing of high volume optical products," said Martin Madaus, PhD, Quanterix executive chairman. "Sony DADC's proven optical disc technology provides Quanterix with a consumable that meets the requirements of high sensitivity diagnostic testing both today and into the future. Partnering with Sony DADC on the SiMoA Disc is a major milestone toward our objective of delivering high quality and cost effective solutions to the clinical diagnostics and life science markets."
