RAPIvD was established in 2018 by Dr Robert Porter to provide world-class contract research, development and manufacturing services to the fast-growing in vitro diagnostics (IVD) sector.

With more than 3o years of experience in this specialist field, Rob had the knowledge and network to provide customers with the expertise and facilities required to help them advance their lateral flow and other IVD devices.

The covid-19 pandemic demonstrated the value of large-scale, low-cost, convenient and accurate point-of-care diagnostic tests. The increased awareness of the technology accelerated the growing interest in its capabilities 

The team at RAPIvD continues to expand, as does its facilities. The company is small enough to remain agile and large enough to provide exceptional services in this specialised field.
