Successful Outcome sees Project move into Manufacture

Independent technology and product development company TTP and Cubed Laboratories (Cubed), a developer of rapid, DNA-based molecular diagnostic devices and test kits, have successfully completed a project to develop Cubed’s core product, the NESDEP portable laboratory for pathogen detection.

Towards the end of last year TTP undertook a rapid redesign and repackaging of the NESDEP device, focussing on aesthetics, ease-of-use and manufacturability. In May 2018, TTP hosted Bruce Brock, CEO of Cubed and Gabe Shakour, its Director of Manufacturing, at a workshop that marked the start of the formal transfer of the design to manufacture. TTP has now shipped pre-production prototypes to Cubed and manufacture of the system is underway.

Les Ivie, COO of Cubed, said: “TTP and Cubed have a long-standing relationship. Previously TTP partnered with us in helping commercialise our breakthrough technology. Now we have successfully partnered again..to deliver this revolutionary rapid diagnostic device. We are looking forward to future partnerships with TTP as we seek to further expand our product portfolio.”

Stuart Lowe, Life Science Consultant at TTP, commented: “Cubed was one of the earliest beneficiaries of TTP’s Desktop Biology initiative, providing development expertise for those looking to enable analytical-quality testing at the point-of-decision, rather than relying on central laboratory services. We are delighted to have partnered with Cubed in the commercialising of the NESDEP device.”
