A number of technologies have evolved that are very well suited for the creation and manufacturing of multiplex diagnostics tests.  This presentation will illustrate how biological content can be used to create high quality diagnostics devices.  Examples covering different platforms will include R&D and production aspects on lateral flow strips, microarrays in microtiterplates, and on custom biochips. While Lateral Flow test strips have been around for a long time, their multiplex version, based on spot arrays, is just now emerging in the next wave of low cost diagnostics.  In central diagnostic labs, the use of microarrays in microtiter plates allows for a high degree of multiplexing together with a very high sample throughput. Finally, a number of companies have developed unique diagnostic format platforms. Often based on custom fabricated biosensors, electrodes or other CMOS structures need to be loaded with biological substances in a way that does not damage surface features.
