2020 End of Year Summary
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, December 31st, 2020 – Redbud Labs (“Redbud”) closed out an active year for new product development. Early in 2020, Redbud Labs announced its ISO certification and an expansion of its product lines. Responding to the COVID-19...
Barriers to sequencing for everyday diagnostics
If it wasn’t clear before COVID-19, it is now: ubiquitous, worldwide testing for infectious diseases is crucial for public health and prosperity. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are the gold standard for infectious disease diagnosis.
High-performance sample prep on-cartridge
Any developer of a sample-to-answer device knows that getting sample prep working on-cartridge is a major source of risk. It makes matters worse that issues with sample prep usually arise late in the development process. Sample prep is often responsible when product...
The state of safely reopening amid COVID-19
The SARS-CoV-2 virus brings much risk, but a good workplace-return-to-facility plan that takes account of how the virus spreads can make a huge difference in mitigating outbreak risk. And hopefully, such a plan can ease feelings of worker uncertainty. Well, at least until we solve the longer-term challenges of unleashing a SAR-CoV-2 vaccine and the point-of-need tests our industry’s intent is to resolve ASAP.
Sample prep method considerations for sample-to-answer systems
System developers are faced with designing systems to deliver consistent, high quality results, faster. Scientists and engineers must work achieve their specifications while keeping development and production costs down. Porting a benchtop method to a cartridge can be a challenge, but changing a sample prep method mid-stream is often worse.
What COVID-19 teaches us about diagnostic Whack-a-Mole
The first SARS-CoV-2 sequence was released on January 10, just 40 days after the incidence of pneumonia started to rise in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization released its first diagnostic testing guidelines just one week later, on January 17. By any measure,...
Translating Laboratory Performance to Your Point-of-care Device
The ability to port bead-based assays onto microfluidic cartridges would dramatically streamline the transition of lab-based assays into sample-to-answer formats. The problem is that this transition is deeply problematic.
SARS-CoV-2: What it means for Redbud
Our mission at Redbud Labs is to enable higher performing sample-to-answer tests that are faster and less expensive to develop. Never in our lifetimes has it been clearer how critical that goal is, for our industry, for public health, and for our peace of mind. Like everyone else in our industry and around the world, Redbud Labs has spent the last few weeks adjusting to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.
REDBUD LABS Earns ISO 9001 & ISO 45001 Certifications
Redbud Labs announced today that their Research Triangle Park, North Carolina facility has been certified to the ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 standards. . Gaining ISO 9001:2015 reinforces Redbud Lab’s relentless focus on creating industry-leading products and services, measured against global benchmarks of industry excellence.
REDBUD LABS Extends MXR Chip Line
Redbud’s MXR chips boost reaction yields in amplification, lysis, and other critical workflows. Assembling a cartridge with dry reagents on-board has always required a combination of methods—injection molding, filling, drying, pick-and-place—that result in expensive, hard-to-manufacture products. MXR™DryPak replaces all of this complexity with a single part that manufacturers install with a simple pick-and-place operation.
