Your end-to-end in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) partner

Expert support from scientific validity to post-market surveillance, designed for IVD and medical device manufacturers.

Accelerating IVDR-ready diagnostic development

Bringing a diagnostic innovation to market takes more than good science. You need regulatory insight, operational scale, and the ability to generate high-quality evidence – fast.

Cerba Xpert is the IVD-focused branch of Cerba Research, partnering with IVD and medical device manufacturers to accelerate every stage of development – from establishing scientific validity and analytical performance to generating clinical evidence and maintaining post-market compliance.

Through Cerba Xpert, we bring regulatory clarity and momentum through IVDR-aligned documentation and study designs built to withstand scrutiny.

We provide operational continuity as one integrated partner, coordinating studies, testing, logistics, and reporting across geographies.

And we deliver evidence you can stand behind: analytically rigorous, clinically relevant, and produced under quality frameworks that meet IVDR, FDA, and other key international requirements.

How we support your diagnostic development journey

Scientific validity

We build a robust evidence base for your intended purpose through structured literature reviews, data synthesis, and documentation aligned to IVDR requirements. The result is credible, well-organized dossiers that streamline your interactions with notified bodies and accelerate regulatory progression.

Analytical performance

From precision and reproducibility to sensitivity, specificity, and commutability, we design and execute analytical performance studies that generate regulatory-ready data, de-risking your verification and validation process and giving you earlier go/no-go clarity at every stage.

Clinical performance studies

We leverage our global footprint to run efficient, compliant clinical performance evaluations, coordinating enrollment, testing, data management, and logistics to keep your timelines on track and deliver high-quality clinical evidence faster than a fragmented, multi-vendor approach.

Post‑market surveillance (PMS)
