Development Packages

Start with the technical module that matches your current stage.

Assay Feasibility Package

For teams establishing an initial PCR, qPCR or RT-qPCR method for a defined target.

Sample Preparation Package

For projects where purified nucleic acid works, but the real sample matrix remains challenging.

Multiplex Panel Package

For clients developing a customized multi-target qPCR or RT-qPCR panel.

Rapid Workflow Package

For clients seeking shorter turnaround time, field-ready workflows or fast-platform compatibility.

Application Areas

Built for real samples, not only purified templates.

We support research-use workflows across infectious disease, biotechnology, food, veterinary and environmental applications.

Infectious Disease Research

Respiratory, gastrointestinal, bloodstream infection, STI and arbovirus research workflows.

Biotechnology and Cell Culture

Mycoplasma, bacterial and fungal contamination screening, raw-material and process-support workflows.

Food and Agriculture

Food authenticity, meat adulteration, seafood identification, feed testing and foodborne pathogen research.

Environmental and Industrial Testing

Water, surface-swab, production-environment and microorganism-monitoring applications.

How We Work

A clear outsourcing pathway with defined milestones.

1

Project Brief

You share the target, sample type, current stage and desired deliverables.

2

Technical Assessment

We evaluate feasibility, sample complexity, development modules and risks.

3

Scope of Work

We define milestones, required materials, deliverables and commercial terms.

4

Experimental Development

We execute the agreed work and provide milestone-based progress updates.

5

Technical Transfer

You receive SOPs, data summaries, troubleshooting notes and handover support.

About Link Biosolutions

A focused molecular assay development partner.

Link Biosolutions is a biotechnology consulting and contract development service provider focused on PCR-based assay development, sample preparation and nucleic acid extraction workflows.

We work with international research teams, biotechnology companies and instrument developers that need flexible external support for experimental execution, optimization and method transfer.

Our standard services are intended for research-use method development. Regulatory validation, clinical performance studies and registration support require a separate scope.

Confidentiality

Protect your unpublished work from the first technical discussion.

We understand that outsourced projects may involve unpublished research, grant-funded studies, proprietary product concepts or early-stage commercial plans.

  • Mutual NDA available before detailed project disclosure
  • Milestone-based project documentation
  • Client-specific data used only for the agreed scope
  • Intellectual-property terms defined in the service agreement

FAQ

Common questions before a project starts.

Can you support a project that is still at the concept stage?

Yes. A project can begin with a feasibility assessment, target-selection review and sample-preparation strategy before laboratory work is scoped.

Can you work with our existing primers and probes?

Yes. We can evaluate and optimize an existing assay, including reaction conditions, multiplex compatibility and front-end sample-preparation workflow.

Can you develop methods for difficult samples?

Yes. Depending on the matrix, we can compare chemical, mechanical and enzymatic lysis approaches as well as magnetic-bead, column-based and rapid extraction workflows.

Do you provide clinical diagnostic validation?

Our standard services focus on research-use method development. Regulatory validation, clinical performance studies and registration support should be discussed as a separate project scope.

Can you work with clients outside Asia?

Yes. We support international clients through remote project meetings, milestone reports and technical-transfer sessions.
