We designed and tested over 100 improvements to our client’s instrument in just five months, enabling rapid iteration and scaled-up production. In addition, our team manufactured 45 units and generated the device history records needed to gain a CE Mark.
Having developed a highly effective liquid biopsy system to isolate CTCs, Vortex Biosciences needed our technical expertise and manufacturing experience to improve the system’s disposable cartridge for reliable performance and high-volume production.
When British Antarctic Survey (BAS) extended a challenge to help its Rothera research station reach net zero using sustainable energy storage, we knew it would demand a multidisciplinary team to look beyond the brief and bring fresh ideas.
Senior Consultant Jon Powell shares some of the obstacles encountered conducting pilot builds in-house to help our clients bring devices to market – and gives four pointers for ideal pilot manufacturing for clinical trials.
When Crescendo’s route to launch looked blocked by quality issues at manufacture, our rapid iteration of the vibrator’s sheath design cleared the way, enabling MysteryVibe to fulfil their first orders for investor-customers.
We were asked to develop a new cryoablation technology in this crowded IP space. Our scientists and engineers started from first principles and were able to create a new patented system that enabled the office-based treatment of breast cancer.
Catheter ablation is widely used to treat a range of abnormal heart rhythms. It involves passing a thin, flexible catheter through the blood vessels to the heart, where it pinpoints the arrhythmia and uses ablation to block the abnormal electrical signals. A more dexterous catheter increases success rates for patients and retains greater cardiac function.
We undertook the end-to-end development of the system’s hardware and communications backbone. We designed, built, and tested the system components and implemented Asian based manufacturing for a market trial in 300 apartments, all in just 12 months.
We designed and manufactured an ingenious connected sensor to prove the monitoring technology to market leaders in home automation. The unrivalled performance and ease of use of the sensor, together with positive trial results led to a successful new product launch.
The cost effective system provides live horse racing data to smart phone betting apps. With infrastructure installed in 38 racetracks across the US and UK and with over 27,000 races broadcast, it is creating a growing business for our client.
We helped develop a new heart monitor to allow vets and trainers to accurately assess sport horses and spot anomalies that might indicate problems. It is now used all over the world to improve welfare in both training and in international competitions.
Testing early in the development cycle allows designs to mature more quickly. Our novel Digital Injection Moulding process provides accurate moulded parts in hours, which means we can reduce time to market and increase product quality.
