Case study: Hutano Diagnostics

Hutano Diagnostics recently completed a 3-day workshop with lateral flow development services to advance their rapid Ebola point-of-care test.

"The work that we have been doing here has helped us to reshape our R&D strategy and to become more efficient. It has saved us months of development."

Atherton Mutambwera
Hutano Diagnostics, Founder, CEO

Case study: Ubique Bio

Ubique Bio was the winner of the Dx Challenge in 2022 and benefited from a 3-day workshop at the Cytiva site in Dassel, Germany hoping to find the best way to incorporate synthetic peptides into a test strip and find the most efficient way to multiplex the strip.

"Cytiva experts added significant value to our ideas giving us a clearer perspective to our objectives and future directions."

Angelita Lorenzo
Ubique Bio, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer

Case study: SciKare

SciKare won the Dx Challenge in 2024 and attended a 3-day lateral flow development workshop to accelerate the development of their point-of-care test to detect chronic kidney disease (CKD).

“We really appreciate Cytiva helping us to figure out the feasibility of the next steps. I’m looking forward to applying the training and setting up our lab in a way that is production-ready.”
