Abstract

Molecular Diagnostic Devices on Polymer, Glass, and Silicon: From Prototyping to Manufacture

Tamma Kaysser-Kranich, VP Chief Technology Officer, Applied Microarrays, A Schott Minifab Company

Molecular diagnostic device design incorporates key factor selections of detection method, substrate type, format, active surface chemistry, biological detector type, cartridge format and requirements, as well as several others.  Each of these factors is key to a successful product design, and an integrated approach to the design early on can lead to fewer product design changes and more rapid product launch along the developmental project pathway.
