Engineering a Better Bead: Introducing UltraMod™ Technology for Accelerated Development, Scaling, and Validation of Fit-for-Purpose Microsphere

Tuesday, July 28
12:30 – 12:50 p.m.
Exhibit Hall Theater 2
Presented by Bangs Laboratories

Overview

This session introduces UltraMod™, Bangs Labs’ next-generation microsphere platform designed to streamline bead-based reagent development. Attendees will explore the platform’s modular development workflow, which enables systematic optimization of magnetic separation speed, surface characteristics, particle size, and other attributes while maintaining lot consistency — illustrated through brief case studies.

The session concludes with a discussion of UltraMod™ scale-up and fit-for-purpose validation frameworks. Designed for assay developers, laboratory scientists, and R&D diagnostics professionals, this intermediate-level session equips attendees with practical strategies to compress development timelines, reduce variability, and support robust validation across laboratory and diagnostic settings.

Outcome

1. Determine how UltraMod™ design principles may suit ongoing reagent development efforts.
2. Assess integration of UltraMod™ scaling strategies into workflows to reduce optimization cycles and accelerate assay validation timelines.
3. Interpret UltraMod™ validation outline against regulatory needs to guide informed selection of bead-based reagent platforms.
