About Ironbridge America
Assay development and lyophilization for diagnostics
We help diagnostics teams take their reagents from liquid to a stable, dried, ready-to-use format, working from our research and development lab in Columbia, Missouri.
What we work with
- Antibodies and antigens
- Proteins
- Nucleic acids
- Magnetic beads
- Fluorescent dyes
We dry them as single-dose beads, as cakes, inside microfluidic cartridges, or onto porous materials, whichever fits the product.
Our lab
- Clean rooms and dry rooms
- Modern freeze-drying equipment
- Automated dispensing

What guides us
- 01
Dry-ready from day one
We design for the dried format early, so assays don't have to be rebuilt later.
- 02
Precise and repeatable
Every bead and every run is measured, documented and reproducible.
- 03
Built around your device
Beads, cakes, cartridges or porous materials: we fit the format to your product.
