Abingdon Health, a developer and manufacturer of rapid tests, has published a new guide highlighting the benefits to businesses of outsourcing lateral flow test manufacturing services. 

These potential benefits include:

• Reduced costs and increased profits
• Wider business benefits, including allowing customers to focus on core capabilities
• Efficiency gains, through people, processes, and technology
• Ensuring that quality and compliance regulations are met
• Increased competitiveness and market share
• The value that outsourcing partners can provide beyond the life cycle of the product portfolio.

Abingdon Health takes projects from initial concept through to routine and large-scale manufacturing. The company offers a full suite of lateral flow services from development and manufacture through to smartphone reader customisation and regulatory support.

The guide can be accessed on the Abingdon Health website here.

Leigh Thomas, SVP director of global sales of Abingdon Health, said: “There are many innovative companies working in the lateral flow space who find that in-house manufacturing may be unsuitable or unsustainable for numerous reasons, such as costs, logistics, or time constraints. Outsourcing the manufacturing of these tests can be the strategic solution for many developers, allowing them to focus innovation, rather than the logistics of production. We are happy to discuss our own outsourcing offering further with anyone interested in learning more.”
