IVD Development

For companies outsourcing the development of an in vitro diagnostic product, one of the first commercial questions is straightforward: How much does IVD CDMO development cost? There is no single industry-standard price. An IVD CDMO project may cost tens of thousands of US dollars for a relatively mature assay requiring limited optimization and transfer, while a new diagnostic platform involving assay development, custom consumables, instrumentation, analytical validation, clinical performance st...

China has become an important global center for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) reagent development, combining capabilities in molecular diagnostics, immunoassays, clinical chemistry, raw-material engineering, and industrial-scale manufacturing. For international diagnostic companies, Chinese IVD reagent development offers opportunities to access specialized technical expertise, shorten selected development and manufacturing activities, and establish more flexible supply chains. However, developing a...
