Products – We make and sell specialty plasticware that can simplify some lab work and improve POCT.

Rationale – The best ideas are often the simplest and easiest (S&E). Since the sequencing of human and other genomes, we have witnessed the great advancement of technologies poised to capture and further explore the information coded in genomes so as to benefit human health. The concept of testing multiple analytes in one sample has become the common theme in many recent technical platforms, such as various arrays. There are also automated analyzers to test multiple analytes on many samples at the same time. The shared issues with those high tech equipment are the necessity for highly trained personnel, dedicated labs to process the tests and high upfront investment. The turn around time to obtain results so that doctors can make a best treatment plan for patients can be long despite a very short time for the machines to obtain results once the samples are loaded.

Innovation – S&E is trying to develop simple and easy tools that can do the same testing as those high tech equipment and help bring advanced science and technology from bench-to-bedside, or to point-of-care testing (POCT). Our current bead-strip (patent granted in Nov 2018) is a simple and easy, innovative plasticware, which combines the advantages of 96-well plastic plates and magnetic microbeads. Bead strips can be made to fit any format of assay device and possess any surface function. They can be used to do multiplex immunoassay in a standard lab without the need to buy expensive reagents/equipment, or to have dedicated operators/labs. Bead-strips also pave the road for building a next generation of POCT products.

More utilities – Besides being simple and easy, our bead-strip can also solve the following problems in assay/test development: limited budget; small volume of sample; targeted proteins (analytes) with different dilution factors or incompatible antibody pairs.

Custom-made products – Also, if you do not see the plasticware for your special need on the market, we will be glad to help custom-make them.

Goals – We look forward to serving you with our innovative products. We can also provide technical support on various assay development processes.
