In the areas of biologics, diagnostics, and therapeutics, Wi championed many products.
In the field of biologics, Wi specializes in assay development, including custom ELISA, flow cytometry, and hematology and coagulation, and lab capabilities, including cell counting, spectrophotometry, and in-house phlebotomy. In microscopy, Wi utilizes cellular imaging and fluorescence for enhanced evaluations of assays.
Wi works with diagnostic processes and services, including membrane sealing and laser welding. The majority of Wi's products is in the field of diagnostics, with many point-of-care tests and applications such as thermal cycling and air bubble venting. Wi has worked on many point-of-care tests, including designing and prototyping a disposable card, hardware, and mixing on-card assay, and readying the Point-of-Care DNA-MRSA test for full PC control and lab use. For a CD4 Point-of-Care test, Wi designed and pilot-built the card, did design assay and integration, and worked with the imaging software and hardware interface.
