Ascential Medical & Life Sciences (M&LS) has been awarded the 2024 Advanced Lateral Flow Conference (ALFC) award for Leadership in Diagnostics. The award was received due to the contributions of executive advisor and former Kinematic Automation CEO and president Ted Meigs. Kinematic Automation is now a part of Ascential M&LS.
ALFC 2024 award recognizes significant advancements in lateral flow diagnostics (LFD) and is meant to motivate professionals towards further innovation.
For decades Ascential M&LS has supported and contributed to manufacturing innovations of Lateral Flow Diagnostics. In working with Kinematic Automation and with the help of Meig’s leadership, the company has contributed to the growth and evolution of the LFD sector.
Throughout his career, Meig has helped in advancing test strip manufacturing which led to faster time-to-market for new tests and quicker diagnoses and treatments. His leadership has contributed to developing state-of-the-art processes for later flow assay production.
Meig was previously tenured at McDonnell Douglas Aircraft. During the pandemic, he also enabled manufacturers around the globe to meet the demand for at-home and point-of-care tests.
"This award recognizes the critical work that takes place behind the scenes to scale up LFD manufacturing and testing capacity to meet demand during a global pandemic as well as to bring new innovations forward to improve patient care, reliability and access to testing solutions," Scott Watts, President Ascential Medical & Life Sciences told the press. "The great work Ted has done over four decades has contributed to early disease detection and outbreak control, ultimately protecting individual and community health on a global scale. This award is extremely well-deserved."
