LATERAL FLOW ASSAY DEVELOPMENT & MANUFACTURING

For more than 20 years, the American Bionostica (ABI) team has manufactured protein based lateral flow diagnostics for OEM clients in food safety, agricultural, environmental, veterinary medical, biodefense and clinical sectors. Immunoassays are manufactured using colloidal gold and polymer (“latex”) fluorescent nanoparticle conjugates to support visual and quantitative LFD reader technologies. With its acquisition in 2021, ABI/Ethos Biosciences capabilities have expanded to include europium chelate microsphere formats for use with time- resolved fluorescence readers.

Our highly-specialized lateral flow assay development and manufacturing operations are located within the 126,000 square foot Ethos Biosciences facility in NJ, and include reel-to-reel dispensing and drying, sensor-based test strip cutting, reel-to-reel lamination and robotic cassette assembly and pouch filling/sealing equipment. Critical processes are performed in a customized Dry Room with state-of-the art dehumidification system. Our QC laboratory is designed to support achievement of your specifications.
