Taking a PoC instrument from concept to commercial launch
Our client, LumiraDx, wanted to develop a hand-held, Point of Care (PoC) instrument which could run fluorometric, multiplex immunoassays using microfluidic strips. They needed a device that would deliver an outstanding user experience – comparable to the best consumer electronics – along with fully secure cloud connectivity to electronic health records.
LumiraDx brought Team into their programme in the early stages to design and develop their strip reader. Over the next three years, Team helped create the first-generation instrument; from the intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and externals, right down to the hardware, software, and fluid control system. The result is a robust, beautifully designed, CE marked instrument, poised to change the entire landscape of PoC diagnostics.
