EXPERTISE
Where biomedical science meets engineering.
IVD development rarely involves a single discipline. Analytical performance, instrumentation, fluidics, engineering and development decisions interact throughout the life of a system.
SEKOVIK brings biomedical and engineering expertise together to support development teams when additional technical insight, specialist knowledge or independent perspective is needed.
Our support is shaped around the technical challenge and the development stage, rather than predefined service packages.
VERIFICATION & VALIDATION
Confidence in performance starts with understanding it.
Demonstrating that a system performs as intended is a critical part of IVD development. Meaningful verification and validation require more than generating data. Results need to be interpreted in the context of the system, its intended performance and the decisions that follow.
SEKOVIK supports development teams in evaluating analytical and system performance, identifying potential gaps and building a clearer technical understanding of how a developing system behaves.
Support can be integrated into ongoing development activities or provide an independent technical perspective when additional expertise or capacity is needed.
The goal is clear technical evidence that supports confident development decisions.
SYSTEM RESPONSE / CONTEXT
TECHNICAL TROUBLESHOOTING
When the symptom is not the whole problem.
Unexpected analytical or system behaviour can emerge at any stage of development, from early prototypes to systems approaching production. The underlying cause is not always located where the problem first becomes visible. Analytical performance, hardware, fluidics, software and system interactions may all contribute to deviations that become difficult to isolate within a complex development environment. SEKOVIK provides independent technical support to help development teams investigate these challenges, understand the factors influencing system behaviour and move toward effective resolution. Our involvement can range from an independent technical perspective on a specific issue to working directly alongside R&D and engineering teams during more complex investigations.
The objective is not simply to address the visible symptom, but to support decisions that strengthen the development process.
ANALYTICAL & SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
See the system, not just the result.
Analytical results are the visible output of a much larger system. Instrument behaviour, biological material, reagents, fluidics and other technical factors can interact in ways that influence performance. Understanding those interactions becomes especially important when performance changes, results deviate from expectations or a developing system requires further optimization. SEKOVIK supports the evaluation and interpretation of analytical and system-level performance from a development perspective, helping teams connect observations with the wider technical context. This multidisciplinary view can provide valuable additional insight when individual components appear to perform correctly, yet the complete system does not behave as expected.
Better understanding creates better development decisions.
MICROFLUIDICS & FLUIDIC SYSTEMS
Fluid behaviour is part of system performance.
Fluidic architecture can have a fundamental influence on the behaviour, stability and performance of biomedical and diagnostic systems. As systems become smaller and more integrated, interactions between geometry, flow behaviour, components and operating conditions can become increasingly important to overall performance. SEKOVIK provides engineering expertise for fluidic and microfluidic challenges within biomedical and IVD development, supporting teams when deeper understanding or additional engineering capacity is required. Our biomedical and engineering perspectives allow fluidic questions to be considered within the context of the complete system rather than in isolation.
Because a fluidic system is rarely just plumbing.
CFD & ENGINEERING SIMULATION
Understand what cannot easily be seen.
Physical testing can show what a system does. Engineering simulation can add another perspective by helping teams understand the behaviour behind those observations. Computational analysis can provide valuable insight into complex fluidic behaviour and support engineering decisions during development, optimization and technical investigation. SEKOVIK combines simulation expertise with practical biomedical and fluidic development experience, allowing engineering analysis to remain connected to the real system and the development question behind it. Simulation is therefore treated as a development tool rather than an isolated computational exercise.
The value of a model lies in the decisions it helps inform.
DEVELOPMENT & PRODUCTION SUPPORT
From development intent toward a robust system.
Moving from development toward production introduces a different set of technical challenges. A solution that performs successfully during development must ultimately remain reliable as the system, components and processes mature. SEKOVIK can provide additional technical capacity during these transitions, working alongside development and engineering teams when specialist support is needed to understand performance, investigate emerging issues or maintain technical continuity. Support can be focused on a defined challenge or integrated for a longer development phase, depending on the needs of the project.
Technical continuity can make the difference between a promising development and a robust system.
Built on hands-on IVD experience.
SEKOVIK’s expertise is grounded in practical development experience across hematology, clinical chemistry and additional IVD technologies, combined with biomedical engineering, fluidics and simulation capabilities. This background provides an understanding not only of individual technologies, but also of the realities of developing complex diagnostic systems where biology, analytical performance and engineering meet.
Your system. Your challenge. The right level of support.
Development challenges rarely fit neatly into predefined service packages. SEKOVIK works flexibly with R&D and engineering teams, adapting the scope of support to the system, development stage and technical challenge. Engagement can range from an independent technical perspective or focused assignment to longer-term involvement within a development team.
The first step is understanding the problem.
