Method Development

Does your laboratory have a manual assay which can be converted to FIA format?   FIAlab Instruments, Inc. will develop the method at our facilities, fully tested to your satisfaction .  FIAlab will then deliver the method to your laboratory,  configure the hardware for optimal throughput and sensitivity per your requirements, and perform final QC testing.

FIAlab provides affordable custom method development services.  FIAlab chemists are available for consultations and both on and off site method development.   

FIAlab has many years of experience in Flow Injection, Sequential Injection, and Bead Injection Technology, especially as they apply to  water quality testing, Immunoassays, Enzymatic Assays, Automation, Proteomics, Fermentation Monitoring, and Pharmaceuticals.
