In-Vitro Diagnostic Technology


High-Speed Barcode Reading for Accurate Sample Tracking

Our image-based barcode readers deliver industry-leading read rates across 1D and 2D codes, even on damaged or poorly printed labels. Engineered for seamless integration into automated analyzers, they give OEM engineers a reliable foundation for sample identification at every stage of the diagnostic workflow.

Integrated Subsystems for Faster Time to Market

Our pre-integrated combinations of machine vision, barcode, motion, display, and RFID technologies reduce development complexity and accelerate validation timelines. This combined expertise and product portfolio gives OEM engineering teams a faster, lower-risk path from prototype to production.

Machine Vision for Automated Sample Inspection

Our machine vision cameras and deep learning software automate inspection tasks, like liquid level detection, cap classification and anomaly detection, with speed and consistency the human eye can’t match. OEM engineers can build systems that enforce quality control at scale, ensuring only viable samples advance to analysis.

Medical-Grade Displays for Clinical Environments

Our medical-grade displays deliver high-brightness, high-contrast visualization with the optical clarity needed for diagnostic confidence. Designed to meet medical display standards and built for long-term durability, Precision Medicine’s displays help OEMs deliver finished devices that clinicians can depend on.

RFID for Reagent Authentication and Inventory Control

Our ThingMagic® RFID modules enable real-time reagent authentication, tracking, and inventory management directly within automated lab systems. With support for LF, HF, UHF, and UWB protocols, OEM engineers can build closed-loop consumable management into their instruments from the ground up.

Engineer-to-Engineer Collaboration for Custom IVD Solutions

Our engineering teams work directly alongside OEM engineers to design, develop, and validate custom solutions tailored to the specific demands of your application. From component selection through regulatory support, we function as an extension of your team and bring decades of IVD automation experience to every stage of the product lifecycle.

Liquid Level Measurement

Precise liquid level detection ensures only viable samples advance to analysis. Our machine vision cameras and barcode scanning technologies automate sample inspection with consistent, objective accuracy, standardizing quality control and eliminating the variability of manual assessment.

Cell Counting

Accurate cell counting demands imaging performance that doesn’t waver at high throughput. Our machine vision cameras and deep learning software deliver the resolution and repeatability needed for automated cell analysis.

Our technology gives OEM engineers a scalable foundation for building high-performance diagnostic instruments.

Sample Preparation

Efficient sample preparation sets the pace for everything downstream. Our machine vision and barcode technologies automate verification, inspection, and tracking at the preparation stage, reducing handling errors and ensuring samples meet quality thresholds before entering the analytical workflow.

FAQs

In-vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests are performed on biological samples taken from the human body, such as blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids. These tests, conducted outside the body (in vitro), are used to detect diseases or infections and to monitor a patient’s health.

The information provided by in-vitro diagnostic testing is essential for healthcare providers in making accurate diagnosis and guiding their treatment decisions. IVD testing is a critical tool in disease management, improving patient outcomes, and contributing to overall public health.

OEMs offer many advanced capabilities, including designing products for efficient, high-throughput production, rigorous quality testing to ensure reliability, and compliance with industry regulations to guarantee a safe product.

OEMs can integrate cutting-edge technologies into in-vitro diagnostic devices, such as microfluidics for precise fluid handling, biosensors for enhanced sensitivity, and digital health solutions for connectivity and data analysis. These types of technologies improve the accuracy, efficiency, and overall performance of IVD tests.

OEMs provide many laboratory automation devices, including automated sample tracking systems, reagent authentication technologies, machine vision automation for quality control, and automated cell counting systems. These types of solutions streamline laboratory workflows and improve testing accuracy and efficiency.
