Spotlight on In Vitro Diagnostics: From Challenges to Innovative Solutions
In the dynamic realm of in vitro diagnostics (IVD), companies are in constant pursuit of partners who can seamlessly integrate into their value chain and significantly enhance their development pipeline. The IVDR regulations impose stringent requirements on IVD companies, necessitating compliance for survival. Simultaneously, there is a critical need for innovation towards more sustainable, faster, and real-time diagnostic solutions. The rise of theranostics presents a valuable opportunity to create a broader impact on patient care. Here, partnering with the right collaborators becomes essential. CER Groupe stands out as the strategic partner perfectly suited to meet these demands.
CER Groupe is a dedicated Research Center supporting the human and veterinary IVD sectors with high-quality critical raw materials, comprehensive Contract Research Organization (CRO) services, and collaborative research initiatives. Leveraging advanced molecular tools and state-of-the-art research and development strategies, CER Groupe is committed to delivering sustainable, real-time, cost-effective theranostic solutions tailored to the specific needs of the IVD industry.
Efficient, Reproducible Products at Competitive Costs

Biobank Certification
Having access to relevant biological samples is crucial for the development and validation of new IVD devices. CER Groupe's biobank certification allows for the collection, characterization, and testing of IVD devices on human material, ensuring accuracy and reliability in diagnostic applications. This certification is particularly beneficial in meeting new regulatory requirements for laboratory-validated testing.
Independence and Flexibility
CER Groupe operates independently, ensuring long-term availability of critical raw materials at competitive prices. This independence mitigates the risk of supply chain disruptions caused by supplier acquisitions, offering stability and reliability for your critical reagents.
Optimized Production Platforms
Maintaining an in-house production platform for critical raw materials, especially biological ones, can be costly and complex. CER Groupe's optimized production platforms, utilizing overproducing cell lines amortized across numerous projects, provide high-quality, flexible, and cost-effective solutions. Our services are highly competitive, often outperforming the internal production costs of many companies.
Quality Control and Customized Characterizations
Understanding the variations in efficacy between different lots of critical raw materials is challenging based solely on provided certificates. CER Groupe offers a range of advanced analytical platforms for the thorough characterization of biological materials. These capabilities help identify the nature of variations, establishing rational specifications to maximize reproducibility in IVD devices.
Diverse Expertise
IVD industry needs vary widely, from food safety and medical diagnostics to environmental control. With extensive research experience in life sciences, CER Groupe brings broad expertise across multiple domains, including haptens, macromolecules, cells, viruses, and bacteria. Equipped with facilities up to Biosafety Level 3 (BSL3), CER Groupe is well-positioned to collaborate with companies across diverse fields while maintaining specialized expertise.
