A New Voler Systems Case Study

Revolutionizing Early Lung Cancer Detection with Advanced Liquid Biopsy Device Development

Customer Introduction

This China-based company's liquid biopsy platform project included a medical instrument for a simple and non-invasive method to diagnose lung cancer in the early stages. It eliminates the need for a lung biopsy and is said to be just as accurate.

Problem/Goal

• The company did not have the engineering expertise to design the complex medical instrument used for non-invasive liquid biopsies and the required accurate measurement of very low currents in a blood sample.

The device needed to accurately measure an extensive current range from 10 picoamps to 50 microamps with low leakage currents.

• Noise from external sources was a significant challenge.

Proper shielding was essential. Extreme care is needed to shield the incoming signals from external noise at such low current levels.

Creating a brand-new product from the ground up isn't as simple as some might assume. From a consumer standpoint, all that's seen is the finished product's sleek and refined detail. But to get to that point, developers usually go through several prototypes and sometimes much more.

Sir James Dyson famously went through over 5,000 prototypes before launching the world's first bagless vacuum! But complexity and purpose are almost irrelevant; all new products need prototyping.

Since prototypes usually cost more than mass-produced parts, it's wise to familiarize yourself with the types you'll need and when. Here's a quick breakdown of the four most common types of prototypes you'll need when developing a new product.

Shout-out from Fred Grier, San Diego Tech Journalist

"Earlier this week Wireless Communications Alliance and Prakash Sangam hosted a small gathering for Leaders in Tech at San Diego's Karl Strauss Brewing Company.

"Attendees had nearly 20+ years of working in the #semiconductor and #telecommunications industry at legacy companies including Qualcomm, MediaTek, Lenovo among others.

"Thank you Voler Systems for sponsoring the event and including me."
