Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

Vital Biosciences Inc

$71,500.00

Improving performance of novel, ultra-bright optical reporter particles for highly sensitive immunoassays

FY 2020-21 · 2021-02-09

Summary
The proposed development of standardized quality control and fabrication protocols for our proprietary optical reporter particles will reduce batch variability and non-specific interactions, establishing greater control over the performance of Vital Biosciences’ diagnostic assays. By the end of the proposed project, all fabrication protocols, quality control documentation, and internal validation with a representative immunoassay will be complete; this work will support utility in our full menu of in vitro diagnostics technologies.

Description (French)
L'élaboration proposée de protocoles normalisés de contrôle de la qualité et de fabrication de nos particules optiques rapporteuses exclusives permettra de réduire la variabilité des lots et les interactions non spécifiques, établissant ainsi un meilleur contrôle sur la performance des tests de diagnostic de Vital Biosciences. À la fin du projet proposé, tous les protocoles de fabrication, la documentation du contrôle de qualité et la validation interne avec un immunoessai représentatif seront terminés; ce travail sera utile dans notre menu complet de technologies de diagnostic in vitro.
