Understanding IVD Manufacturing in Modern Global Healthcare In vitro diagnostic (IVD) manufacturing encapsulates the full spectrum of research, scaled production, performance verification and commercial rollout for diagnostic devices designed to analyze human biological samples outside a living body. Sample matrices processed within IVD facilities cover whole blood, serum, plasma, urine, oral fluid, tissue homogenates and other bio-specimens collected from patients for clinical testing. These di...
