How We Helped Bring a Novel Women’s Health Test to Market

When a diagnostics partner faced a roadblock with a high-priority women’s health lateral flow assay, they turned to MaximBio to overcome the technical and regulatory challenges their previous developer couldn’t resolve.

  • Advanced R&D Capabilities: MaximBio’s team solved key assay development hurdles, integrated novel detection techniques, and successfully guided the product through verification, validation, and regulatory clearance.
  • Seamless Tech Transfer & Scale-Up: Following successful development, we transitioned the assay into routine commercial manufacturing, supporting stable supply and consistent product performance.
  • Proven Long-Term Value: More than a decade later, the product has grown to become a market leader - demonstrating MaximBio’s ability to deliver sustained technical, regulatory, and manufacturing success for differentiated diagnostics.
