Overcoming CGM testing challenges

How can we accelerate the next breakthrough in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology?
Lab test systems play an essential part in #CGM development.
Sensor performance data gathered under controlled conditions guides critical early design decisions and helps maximise readiness for in-vivo trials.
However, developing the test system itself can be challenging, particularly for glucose sensors operating over days, weeks or even months.
TTP’s CGM test system has been designed to speed up development by providing core elements such as fluidic automation, sensor output measurement, and data management, while maintaining flexibility and allowing rapid customisation where needed.
Automated fluidics allow repeatable test sequences with flow-through and recirculating modes, expandable numbers of test fluids and sensors, and UV sterilisation and filtration to control microbial growth in longer term tests.
Each sensor is housed in a temperature-controlled flow cell designed for rapid and reliable fluid changes and accurate sensor response measurements.
Lab grade development instrumentation provides high quality data, which can be used to determine the right level of performance for cost-constrained production electronics.
Data management requires careful attention: one sensor can generate hundreds of thousands of data points, and thousands of sensors may be tested over the course of a development.
To address this challenge, TTP uses flexible and scalable cloud-based databases to store test data and critical related information, enabling cloud-based collaboration, automated analysis, and virtual experiments, mining existing datasets to answer new questions.
