New Test Development

We have a vast experience in new test development. We develop many hundreds of assays each year for a wide variety of applications. Every design project is led by a genuine expert from start to finish. We have an outstanding reputation with our clients for our expertise and excellent communication structures that we have in place. This ensures that project delivery is on time and on budget whilst our clients maintain complete visibility of the process.

Our areas of particular expertise include:

  • Infectious disease detection in humans
  • Pathogen detection in plants and animals
  • Companion diagnostic tests
  • SNP genotyping and rare mutation detection
  • Gene expression and assays
  • Water contamination tests
  • Food contamination tests
  • GMO detection
  • Meat speciation tests
  • Bio-threat detection
  • Genetic testing/gene modification

In 2009, Primerdesign created the first assay for H1N1 Swine Flu which resulted in media coverage. You can view the news report here.
