Proof of Concept & Development

Because of the diversity of medical device design and usage, WuXi AppTec recognizes the importance of evaluating each device and situation with the client and developing a systematic approach that meets all requirements for a successful testing program.

We become part of the client's design team, working closely with client scientists to help bring a product from research to proof of concept to commercialization.

  • Model identification
  • Model evaluation or development
  • Device design
  • Materials evaluation
  • Protocol research and development
  • Study design development/optimum test selections
