As precision medicine continues to evolve, CDx development requires highly reliable biochemical components—especially enzymes that drive signal detection, amplification, and assay performance.
Enzymes are the functional core of many diagnostic systems. Their catalytic properties enable highly sensitive, rapid, and specific detection of biological signals, making them indispensable in companion diagnostic (CDx) applications across immunoassays, molecular diagnostics, and biosensor platforms. By converting molecular recognition events into measurable outputs, enzymes bridge the gap between biological interactions and analytical readouts.
Enzymes catalyze reactions that produce measurable outputs such as colorimetric, fluorescent, or chemiluminescent signals.
In CDx assays, enzymes such as HRP and ALP are widely used to convert non-detectable substrates into visible or quantifiable signals. These reactions form the basis of widely adopted detection technologies including ELISA, CLIA, and fluorescence-based assays. The efficiency and kinetics of these enzymatic reactions directly influence signal intensity, detection accuracy, and assay reproducibility.
Through catalytic turnover, enzymes amplify weak biological signals, enabling detection of low-abundance biomarkers.
A single enzyme molecule can catalyze multiple reaction cycles, significantly enhancing signal output from minimal target presence. This amplification is essential for detecting low-copy-number nucleic acids, rare proteins, or early-stage disease biomarkers. Enzyme-driven amplification mechanisms are fundamental to technologies such as PCR/qPCR, enzyme-linked immunoassays, and cascade amplification systems used in advanced biosensors.
Engineered enzymes enhance assay specificity by minimizing background noise and improving target selectivity.
High-purity and optimized enzymes reduce non-specific reactions and improve signal-to-noise ratios, which is critical for accurate clinical interpretation. Additionally, enzyme conjugation strategies (e.g., antibody-enzyme labeling) and substrate selectivity further enhance assay precision. Advanced enzyme engineering enables fine-tuning of catalytic activity and substrate affinity, ensuring reliable performance even in complex biological samples.
Our CDx enzyme portfolio supports immunoassays, molecular diagnostics, and NGS workflows, providing a scalable foundation for companion diagnostic development.

To demonstrate the practical value of our CDx enzyme platform, we developed two representative nucleic acid detection workflows based on optimized enzyme systems: a probe-based qPCR assay for high-sensitivity quantitative detection and a LAMP assay for rapid visual and fluorescence readout.
In the qPCR workflow, an optimized polymerase system was used to detect a serial dilution of target nucleic acid templates across a wide dynamic range. The amplification plot showed clear separation among different input concentrations, with high-copy samples reaching the fluorescence threshold earlier and low-copy samples amplifying later, consistent with expected qPCR kinetics. The system achieved a theoretical limit of detection of approximately 10 copies per reaction.
The corresponding standard curve demonstrated excellent linearity between Ct value and template concentration, with an amplification efficiency of 99.2% and an R² value of 0.998. These results suggest that the enzyme system is suitable for both sensitive detection and quantitative analysis.
In parallel, a LAMP-based detection workflow was established to support rapid and equipment-light testing. The visual detection panel illustrates a clear color difference between negative and positive samples, demonstrating the feasibility of direct readout without complex instrumentation.
The fluorescence amplification profile further confirmed the analytical performance of the LAMP system. Positive reactions generated strong amplification signals within a short reaction window, while the negative control remained at baseline. The assay showed the capability to detect target input levels below 50 copies per reaction.
Companion diagnostics are most effective when developed in parallel with therapeutic agents.
