Web Industries, a precision converter and contract manufacturing organization, has allocated production capacity at its Holliston, MA, plant to support developers of COVID-19 lateral flow immunoassay (LFI) diagnostic tests.
LFI tests are one type of diagnostic device under research and development as public health leaders seek solutions to efficiently test large numbers of people for COVID-19.
Web’s Lateral Flow Diagnostic Center of Excellence, a 6,500-square-foot facility built specifically for LFI manufacturing, offers the following CMO services: automated reel-to-reel medical device production, in-house biochemistry lab, reagent deposition, LFI strip manufacturing, and device assembly and packaging.
Web Industries’ medical team has devised processes to help LFI device manufacturers expedite the transition from the research lab to large-volume reel-to-reel production of millions of tests. Web has an LFI economic and manufacturing model available to share with device developers, academic researchers and companies responding to U.S. market needs for COVID-19 test kits.
