We are a solution and customer focused business. We don't try to squeeze your requirements into our systems. If the project brief better suits an alternative rapid IVD platform to lateral flow technology, we have the experience and expertise to switch to many other formats. We're also comfortable with pursuing unconventional solutions to meet unusual or demanding specifications.

Our research team continues to deliver assays that provide our customers with a competitive edge or novel solution to meet market needs. We are constantly pushing boundaries to improve the range, accuracy and versatility of point-of-care devices that play an increasingly important role in todays healthcare, wellbeing, industrial and veterinary sectors. ​

Dr Robert Porter

Through our CEO, Dr Robert Porter, we have expertise dating back to the origins of lateral flow devices and IVD (in vitro diagnostics) in the mid-1980s. Rob was a member of the team that developed the first home pregnancy test.

Rob is highly regarded for his expertise and relentless drive towards developing new and better diagnostic technologies, as well as accelerating the expansion of their practical applications.

 

If you’re looking for expert assistance in any area of lateral flow and other forms of rapid IVD R&D, contact us at RAPIvD. Let’s see if we can help.
