BBI to join EMD Millipore and Kinematic at San Diego Lateral Flow Seminar
BBI are hosting a joint seminar with EMD Millipore and Kinematic next month to educate in the field of lateral flow, and ensure faster, higher performing and more robust systems.
- (1888PressRelease) September 13, 2012 - The October seminar will educate registrants on how to develop and manufacture a lateral flow test and provide new insights into how superior quality components, established research and development processes and highly efficient machinery, guarantee faster, higher performing and more robust assay systems.
The practical elements of the course will allow theory to be put into practice as a lateral flow test is built; culminating with the end user being able to read this test with BBI's new Novarum smartphone reader.
The Seminar, taking place on the 2nd and 3rd October in San Diego, incorporates BBI's understanding of market requirements as well as the available new technologies which are enhancing lateral flow. "We are constantly updating lateral flow technology to improve performance whilst ensuring the cost per test allows for market penetration" commented Morag Leaver, BBI's Head of R&D. "This seminar will allow us to share our experience and highlight the advancements within the field of lateral flow".
The seminar is designed for professionals involved in the development and manufacture of lateral flow test kits. Scientists, engineers and technicians working in R&D and product development will also benefit. Presentations are by PATH, EMD Millipore, BBInternational and Kinematic.
In more detail, the seminar will cover the following elements, providing an all-encompassing perspective for those working towards development of the best performing assay.
Contract R&D for lateral flow - design phases, qualitative versus quantitative assays plus regulatory considerations
Design considerations for lateral flow test strips
Design for manufacturability
Membrane technology - manufacturing, properties, testing, storage and handling
Reagent chemistries and labels of choice for lateral flow
Antibodies and blockers
Matrix modules, primer to lab, striping machinery and settings
Pad materials - important properties and selection
QC testing considerations - patient samples, characterization
Contract manufacturing and test validation
Equipment validation
NEW Novarum Reader, molecular and future technologies
The event will also provide networking opportunities in the form of a cocktail and canapι reception on the first evening. For more information visit www.bbigold.com/seminar.
