Integrated DNA Technologies Opens New Business Unit
Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) has announced that it has opened a new business unit dedicated to the manufacture of oligonucleotides for use in diagnostic products. The company has been awarded ISO 13485:2003 certification at its Coralville facility, for its new business unit called "Clinical and Commercial Manufacturing" (CCM). This globally recognized certificate confirms that IDT meets the rigorous standards required for the supply of custom manufacturing/processing services, customer support and sales distribution of molecular biology products for molecular in vitro diagnostic devices and licensed nucleic acid tests. This covers its synthetic oligonucleotides as well as the associated reagents and consumables.
Bill Jones, Director of Quality Assurance for IDT, said, "This dedicated manufacturing suite, with its additional ISO 13485 certification and compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 820 QSR/cGMP, positions IDT to better serve both our current and future clinical/medical device customers. It will also be important for other commercial customers with applications that need a higher level of process control and compliance."
The ISO 13485:2003 certification and subsequent registration of the facility with the FDA, follows a series of audits - carried out by BSI Management Systems - requiring on-site assessments, examinations of IDT's documented procedures, and an audit of overall operations. System quality is then monitored through periodic surveillance audits of IDT's processes, by BSI Management Systems. As a result the ISO 13485:2003 certification provides a clear, recognized, and highly respected standard for quality management in the highly regulated clinical/medical market.
