DFM & Supply Chain
Prepare for production with optimized designs and a Canadian supply chain.
Where Science Meets Engineering
RADical R&D sits at the intersection of three disciplines: Assay Verification & Validation, Cartridge Design & Rapid Prototyping, and Instrument Development. This convergence enables us to develop complete point-of-care diagnostic systems - from the biological assay to the physical device to the detection instrument.
