Diagnostic Instrument Development & Manufacturing

G&H | ITL supports diagnostic OEMs, medtech innovators and life science companies with the development and manufacture of diagnostic instruments.

Engineering Partner for Complex Diagnostic Instruments

Developing a diagnostic instrument is not just an engineering challenge, it is a transition challenge. Many companies can prototype, but fewer can take a system through detailed design, regulatory requirements and into scalable manufacturing. G&H | ITL helps bridge that gap by supporting customers as they move from early-stage concept to manufacturable, production-ready systems.

We support customers with the development of complex diagnostic systems that require:

  • Move from prototype to manufacturable system
  • Integrate optics, fluidics, electronics, and software
  • Design for regulatory compliance (FDA, IVDR)
  • Scale production without compromising performance or cost

Integrated Design, Engineering and Manufacturing

We support the design and engineering of diagnostic instruments for laboratory and point-of-care applications, bringing together optics, fluidics, electronics and software into cohesive, manufacturable platforms. Our multidisciplinary teams work across instrument architecture, subsystem integration and full-system development to help customers move from concept through to production-ready design with greater confidence and control.

Alongside system development, we focus strongly on regulated design, design for manufacture and manufacturing scale-up so instruments can move successfully from prototype to full production.

Our development approach is underpinned by:

  • Instrument architecture for laboratory and point-of-care systems
  • Integration of optics, fluidics, electronics, and software
  • Multidisciplinary engineering for complex platforms
  • ISO 13485-compliant development processes
  • Design controls aligned with FDA and IVDR
  • Risk management, verification, and validation
  • Transition from prototype to production-ready design
  • Cost optimization for instruments and consumables
  • Supply chain and manufacturing strategy
  • Module, sub-system, and full instrument build
  • Global manufacturing footprint (US, EU, APAC)
  • Low-volume to full-scale production

Diagnostic Instruments We Develop

G&H | ITL support the development of advanced diagnostic and analytical instruments across both laboratory and near-patient settings. Our experience spans a range of diagnostic platforms and system types, helping customers create instruments that are technically robust, commercially viable and ready for regulated markets.

  • PCR and molecular diagnostic systems
  • Immunoassay analyzers and platforms
  • Microbiology and culture-based systems
  • Point-of-care diagnostic devices
  • Integrated diagnostic platforms and analyzers

Why Companies Choose G&H | ITL?

Choosing the right partner for diagnostic instrument development is critical, especially where engineering complexity, regulatory design and scalable manufacture all need to progress together. G&H | ITL supports customers with integrated product development and manufacturing expertise, helping transform diagnostic concepts into regulated, commercially viable systems.

  • From Concept to Production - In One Partner
    We combine product development, engineering, regulatory design and manufacturing, eliminating the gap between prototype and production.
  • Built for Complex Diagnostic Systems
    We have deep expertise across IVD instruments, PCR platforms and automated diagnostic systems.
  • Integrated Photonics + Device Engineering
    Unlike most development firms, we bring in-house optical and photonics expertise, which is critical for many diagnostic platforms.
  • Designed for Scale
    We do not just build prototypes — we design systems that can be manufactured reliably and cost-effectively.
