Molecular Diagnostic Assay Development

End-to-End Molecular Diagnostic Assay Development Services

  • CLIA-certified lab with expertise in rare and low-abundance target detection
  • Custom solutions for RUO, IUO, and CDx applications
  • From assay concept through validation, scale-up, and commercialization

With expertise across multiple platforms and assay formats, Accelevir supports full-cycle molecular diagnostic development, including assay design, optimization, regulatory validation, pilot production, and scale-up. Our cross-functional teams bring deep experience in oncology, infectious diseases, immunology, and gene therapy.

Your Molecular Diagnostic Development Partner

Accelevir partners with diagnostics developers, pharmaceutical sponsors, and biotech startups to create reliable, reproducible molecular assays that meet the highest standards for precision, sensitivity, and compliance.

We support:

  • Research Use Only (RUO) workflows
  • Investigational Use Only (IUO) development
  • Companion Diagnostics (CDx) development and biomarker integration

We work closely with each partner to:

  • Define assay performance parameters and target goals
  • Select optimal technologies and reagents
  • Align workflows with regulatory milestones
  • Ensure reproducibility across sample types and batches

Assay Design & Development Services

Our molecular development team provides end-to-end technical and scientific services:

  • Custom assay design: Primer/probe sequences, detection chemistries, and platform matching
  • Assay optimization: Temperature gradients, cycling protocols, target amplification
  • Formulation support: Lyophilization, buffer systems, stabilization
  • Freeze-drying optimization: Shelf temperature profiles, rehydration validation
  • Multiplexing: Design of multi-target assays for improved throughput and data richness
  • Assay format conversion: Adaptation for PCR, LAMP, iNAAT, ddPCR, or NGS platforms

Every assay is customized to meet analytical performance and real-world clinical utility goals.

Supported Assay Technologies

We build assays for a wide array of platforms and molecular tools:

  • qPCR, RT-PCR, and digital PCR (ddPCR)
  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS), including full-length viral genome mapping
  • Isothermal amplification platforms (LAMP, RPA)
  • CRISPR-based diagnostics (Cas12, Cas13 detection workflows)
  • Microarrays for multiplex genomic profiling
  • Biosensor integrations for point-of-care use

Assays can be designed for automated workflows, high-throughput systems, or low-volume specialty testing.

Accelevir ensures each assay meets industry standards and regulatory readiness through:

  • Method validation: Accuracy, precision, LOD, LOQ, specificity, reproducibility
  • Bridging and comparability studies for CDx and IUO transfers
  • Platform transferability: Validation for multiple labs or third-party use
  • GLP/CLIA validation pathways aligned to FDA and ISO requirements
  • Cut point analysis and matrix effects testing for companion diagnostics

We support documentation and reporting for:

  • FDA EUA, 510(k), and BLA pathways
  • CE-IVD certification
  • Pre-submission consultation

Manufacturing & Scale-Up

We offer flexible assay manufacturing from pilot scale to full commercialization:

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer assay transfer and technology migration?

Yes. We can transfer assays between platforms (e.g., qPCR to ddPCR) or between labs, providing documentation and validation.

What technologies do you use most often?

We frequently develop assays using ddPCR (Bio-Rad QX200, QIAcuity), qPCR (QuantStudio), and NGS, alongside immunoassays and sequencing.

Can Accelevir support global distribution of my kit?

Yes. We offer OEM production, lot release testing, and packaging support for international kit distribution.

How do you approach regulatory submissions?

We provide pre-submission planning, design inputs, and validation studies to support FDA, CE-IVD, and global filings.
