Multisorb VP To Present At The IVD Business Strategy Summit

Multisorb Technologies will be attending the 2013 IVD Business Strategy Summit in San Diego, CA, from November 6-8, 2013. The IVD Business Strategy Summit brings together expert thought leaders in the in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) sector to share insights on the latest business strategies and regulatory and technology advancements in this area.

Amongst these thought leaders giving presentations will be Adrian Possumato, Multisorb’s vice president of healthcare packaging. Multisorb will also have a tabletop display showcasing its Calculations through Operations®program as well as its Drop-In, Fit-In, and Built-In solutions for IVD devices.

Using itsCalculations through Operationsprogram,Multisorbpioneered the holistic approach to selection and placement of the ideal sorbentinto pharmaceutical and IVD packaging and devices. Sorbent optimization is carried out using proprietary pseudoempirical modeling software that can accurately predict stability outcomes. In addition to the sorbent formulation Multisorb’s scientists also select the best sorbent format for the application –Drop-In (packets and canisters), Fit-In (compressed solid forms that fit securely into an existing space in the device), orBuilt-In (thermoformed device components with sorbent incorporated into the material).

The Calculations through Operationsprogram and use of the Multisorb systems-based approach (sorbent platform with its corresponding dispenser) provides the most effective solution for ensuring chemical and physical stability for IVD devices through their desired shelf life.

During the Summit, Possumato will be discussing IVD device stability issues related to moisture and oxygen and effective solutions for resolving these stability concerns. He will be presenting the first day of the summit, November 6, from 4:50-5:30 PM.  His talk, “Maximizing Partner Relationships to Protect Over-the-Counter (OTC) and Clinical Use In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Tests”, will focus on:

• Establishing an effective partnership that maximizes product development efficiency by using pseudo-empirical modeling, thereby resolving stability and functionality concerns
• Addressing the stability of challenging diagnostic chemistries through the use of standard and intelligent sorbent solutions
• Identifying and selectingan optimal sorbent delivery device to ensure sustainable costs over product life cycle

Possumato is pleased to be participating in the IVD Business Strategy Summit. “Multisorb’sCalculations through Operations program has become the industry standard for quick resolution of IVD product stability challenges,” Possumato comments. “Identifying and resolving stability problems quickly allows for expedited regulatory submission and potential market launch of IVD products.”
