We have branded this new technology for IVD use as ihcDirect. These products have unique advantages over other IHC products in the market.

Intraoperative IHC diagnostics can only be practical if a procedure is less than 10 minutes. Our ihcDirect products have attained this level of speed, giving surgical oncologists the diagnostic information they need to improve patient care and reduce healthcare costs.

ihcPrime applies the same core technology to Research Use Only (RUO) products, giving clinical researchers the novel products and tools they need to advance clinical care. This novel platform also gives Novodiax and our collaborators the necessary tools to develop innovative companion diagnostic (CDx) products by directly labeling the therapeutic antibody, This results in reduced false positives from diagnostic tests, saving care givers and patients from unnecessary cost and human suffering.

Novodiax services for CDx antibody development fulfill at least three market needs: 1) determine the binding profile on cancer tissues in early development stage; 2) determine normal tissue cross-reactivity in late pre-clinical stage; and 3) companion diagnostics in clinical and market stages. By directly labeling therapeutic antibody, the issues of a) the unwanted non-specific bindings by endogenous biotin in two-step IHC; and b) the anti-human secondary antibody on human tissue in one-step IHC, are avoided. An IHC companion diagnostic tool can be readily developed from a supplied therapeutic antibody using our technology.

Q-STAIN® X products dramatically increase sensitivity and reduce time-to-results for IHC and ELISA immunoassays. These novel improvements reduce assay times in high throughput screening, and provide sensitivity improvements when performing tissue based immunohistochemistry in animal models and in clinical trials. Benefits of Q-STAIN® X include:

High sensitivity: Massive amplifications by pHRP to boost signals in detecting low-abundant targets
Low background: Amplifications without background from endogenous biotin
Fast: Eliminates one incubation step
Versatile: compatible with IHC, ELISA, and Western blotting
