Cancom:MediaKit:IVD Technology:Editorial Features

Editorial

IVD Technology is the only controlled-circulation trade journal devoted exclusively to the development and manufacturing of in vitro diagnostics. Our practical, high-quality editorial meets the needs of all technical and management personnel in the in vitro diagnostics industry.

Editorial Features

Instrumentation Development:
The design and manufacture of clinical analyzers, including electro-optical systems and related software. Computerized systems, upgradability, error control, approaches to system verification and validation. Applications for new sensing, processing, and output technologies, including systems for high-throughput screening.

Assay Development:
Research and development for in vitro diagnostics, including novel biochemical and immunoassay technologies. Innovative applications for the use of antibodies, enzymes, peptides, sera, reagents, growth media, buffers, and controls. Includes topics such as antibody binding, options for antibody labeling, reagent dispensing, use of membranes and filters, novel substrates, lamination, wicking, assay shelf life and stability, and the design and conduct of clinical research.

Detection Technologies:
How manufacturers optimize systems for detecting and displaying test results--from fluorescent and chemiluminescent assays to machine vision systems for automated histopathology screening. Includes articles on lateral-flow assay displays, miniaturized systems for point-of-care instruments, advances in biosensor technologies, and more.

Manufacturing and Processing Technologies:
Critical advice on how to make in vitro diagnostics the best they can be. Includes articles on bioprocessing, automation, filling and dispensing, filtration, assembly technologies, lyophilization, production scale-up, packaging technologies, and quality systems.

Beyond Clinical Applications:
How manufacturers are making the most of intellectual properties developed for IVDs—often by applying them in such nonclinical areas as veterinary diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety.

Laboratory Instrumentation and Automation:
The design and development of finished systems to meet the needs of the laboratory marketplace, including automated fluid-handling systems, robotic sample processing, the application of bar coding and machine vision, interfaces with laboratory information systems, and human factors considerations.

The Global Marketplace:
Issues for the worldwide IVD market, including emerging markets, site selection, distribution and logistics, and international standards and regulations.

Molecular Diagnostics:
Articles with an eye on the emerging realms of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics in diagnostics. Covered areas include the application of molecular tools and technologies to diagnostics, including high-throughput screening, probe design and synthesis; approaches to sample processing; transfer and sequencing technologies; and the design and development of detection equipment.

Plus regular columns:

IVD Industry News:
News and analysis of important events and trendsetting developments for the IVD industry, including emerging technologies, patents and intellectual properties, regulatory affairs, and business and marketing issues.

Commentary:
Viewpoints from industry on issues that affect IVD manufacturers and their marketplace.

Regulations and Standards:
Updates on the latest developments affecting regulated industry, including FDA and CMS regulations, CLIA policies, European Union directives, and international standards for IVDs.
