IVD & Life Science Instruments
End-To-End Development & Manufacturing
Integrated Instrument Development & Manufacturing
Turning a complex instrument concept into a reliable commercial product takes coordinated engineering and manufacturing expertise. As an instrument contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), Quaero Life Science helps IVD and life science companies develop new instruments, improve existing platforms, and scale production. With more than two decades of experience and over 50 instrument projects delivered, we understand the challenges of moving from initial design to market.
Our team of 300+ engineers brings together expertise in optics, mechanics, electronics, software, fluidics, and automation. From precision liquid handling and motion control to optical detection and system integration, we translate product requirements into practical designs built for performance and manufacturability. Our support spans individual components and modules through complete instrument development, assembly, and testing.
Across our network in China, the United States, and Japan, we connect technical expertise with manufacturing capabilities and regional customer support. We work closely with your team to align development and production with your performance, quality, and cost objectives, helping you bring new technologies to market and improve the instruments your customers already rely on.

Let’s Connect
Engineering Makes Life Better
We help customers turn engineering advances into reliable instruments that support progress in diagnostics and life science.
Design Optimization
Working closely with your team, we evaluate instrument designs to identify opportunities to improve performance, simplify assembly, and reduce production costs. Our engineers assess mechanical, electrical, optical, fluidic, and software systems together, considering how each contributes to the instrument’s overall operation.
From refining a component to improving an established platform, we connect design decisions with practical manufacturing requirements. Through prototyping, testing, and collaboration with our production teams, we help address technical challenges early and prepare instruments for consistent, scalable production.
Testing & Verification For Reliable Instruments
Reliable instrument performance depends on how components and systems work together under real operating conditions. Our testing capabilities support development and design refinement, helping identify potential issues before commercial production
- Electrical Reliability: Evaluate electronic components and assemblies for dependable operation.
- Environmental Testing: Assess how operating conditions affect instrument function and durability.
- Electromagnetic Compatibility: Evaluate electromagnetic emissions and immunity to help identify interference issues.
- Optical Testing: Assess optical components and detection systems against defined performance requirements.
Testing results guide engineering improvements and help verify that designs meet agreed specifications. By connecting testing with development and manufacturing, we help customers resolve technical challenges and prepare instruments for reliable production.
Prototyping & Production Readiness
Prototypes turn design concepts into instruments your team can evaluate and refine. Quaero brings together mechanical, electrical, optical, fluidic, and software expertise to develop prototypes around your product requirements, from individual modules to integrated systems.
Through iterative builds and testing, we assess performance, address integration challenges, and identify opportunities to simplify assembly. As designs mature, our engineering and manufacturing teams prepare the documentation, assembly processes, and inspection requirements needed to support the transition into production.

Instrument Manufacturing Built Around Your Goals
Cost Efficiency From Design Through Production
Cost-effective instrument manufacturing starts with decisions made during development. Quaero evaluates component selection, design complexity, assembly methods, and production requirements to identify opportunities to reduce costs while maintaining your performance and quality requirements.
By connecting engineering with in-house machining, electronic assembly, and instrument manufacturing, we help simplify production and reduce avoidable rework. For both new instruments and established platforms, our teams work with you to balance technical requirements, production volumes, and long-term manufacturing costs
Manufacturing Capacity To Support Your Growth
Quaero’s manufacturing network includes more than 1 million square feet of space at its Jiaxing site in China and a 75,000-square-foot instrument manufacturing facility in Japan. These operations combine component manufacturing, assembly, and testing to support customers as their production needs evolve.
From initial production runs to commercial scale, our teams coordinate manufacturing processes, quality controls, and production planning around your instrument requirements. This approach supports new product launches and provides an established manufacturing foundation for the continued growth of existing platforms.
