Products & Customization

Questions about product range, formats and customization options.

What types of rapid tests does PRISES manufacture?

PRISES manufactures IVD and POCT rapid tests across six main categories: hCG pregnancy tests, LH ovulation tests, infectious disease rapid tests, respiratory disease rapid tests, drugs-of-abuse screening tests and urinalysis reagent strips. Products are supplied to distributors, importers, laboratories, medical institutions and private-label customers. Product availability differs by destination market, so please contact PRISES for the current catalog and market-specific product list.

What product formats are available?

PRISES supplies rapid tests in strip, cassette, midstream, digital and multi-panel cup formats. hCG pregnancy and LH ovulation tests are available in both consumer and professional formats. Infectious disease, respiratory and drug-screening products differ in format and sample type, and not every product is available in every format. The PRISES team can recommend a format based on your market, sales channel and end-user group.

Can the test parameters themselves be customized, not only the packaging?

Yes. For selected products PRISES can adjust the technical configuration, not only the branding. Examples include hCG sensitivity levels such as 10 mIU/mL or 25 mIU/mL, and multi-drug screening panels supplied as cups of up to 18 parameters or dip cards of up to 12 parameters with flexible parameter combinations. Combination and panel options for infectious disease and respiratory products are evaluated case by case. Any change to a technical configuration requires confirmation of the intended market, the regulatory route and the order quantity before it can be accepted.

Does PRISES provide OEM, ODM and private-label services?

Yes. PRISES provides OEM, ODM and private-label services for selected rapid test products. Customization can cover branding, product configuration, foil pouch, color box, label and instructions for use. Available options depend on the product, target market, order quantity and regulatory requirements. To start an evaluation, please provide your destination country, product list, estimated annual quantity and packaging requirements.

What packaging elements can be customized?

Customization can cover the brand name, logo, foil pouch, color box, product label, instructions for use, language version and selected kit configurations. The customer confirms artwork, dimensions and all printed text before production starts. All medical, performance, certification and regulatory statements printed on customized packaging are reviewed and approved by PRISES before printing, because incorrect claims on packaging can block customs clearance or product registration in the destination market.

Orders, Samples & Terms

Questions about minimum order quantities, samples, payment and shipping.

What is the minimum order quantity for standard products?

For most standard rapid test products the minimum order quantity starts from 10,000 pieces. Some products and configurations start from approximately 5,000 pieces. The final MOQ depends on the product, format, packaging and current production arrangement. Please send PRISES the specific product and quantity you need for confirmation.

What is the MOQ for fully customized packaging?

The MOQ for fully customized packaging is generally 50,000 pieces. If you do not need the full quantity in one shipment, PRISES can produce the customized packaging film in advance and retain it for subsequent production, so finished goods are manufactured and delivered in agreed batches. The arrangement depends on the product, packaging design, storage conditions and your purchasing plan, and is confirmed in the order.

Can I request samples before placing a bulk order?

Yes. PRISES provides standard samples to qualified business customers after reviewing the company details, destination market and intended product list. Standard sample quantities are generally provided free of charge with shipping paid by the customer. For larger sample quantities a sample fee applies, and this fee can be credited against a subsequent qualifying bulk order. Sample quantity, shipping method and credit conditions are confirmed by the PRISES sales team in advance.

What are the payment terms?

PRISES normally works on a deposit plus balance basis, with the deposit paid after order confirmation and the balance settled before shipment or against shipping documents. Bank transfer is the standard payment method, and letter of credit can be discussed for larger orders. The applicable proportion, currency and payment schedule are stated in the proforma invoice for each order, and depend on order value, product type, packaging arrangement and destination market.

What is the production lead time?

Production lead time depends on the product, order quantity, packaging requirements and material availability. As a reference, an order of approximately one million standard rapid tests normally requires about 15 days of production after order details, specifications and packaging artwork are confirmed. Sample evaluation, artwork approval, shipping and customs clearance are not included in this period.

What shipping methods and Incoterms does PRISES support?

PRISES ships by sea, by air and by international express, and works on EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP or DDU terms depending on the destination. Rapid tests are non-dangerous goods for transport purposes, and shipments are arranged to keep products within their labeled storage range. DDP and DDU availability depends on the destination country, product classification, order volume, customs requirements and logistics conditions. Please provide the destination country, delivery address, product list and estimated quantity so the PRISES sales and logistics teams can confirm a suitable option.

Quality, Certification & Regulatory

Questions about quality systems, certifications and regulatory support.

What quality systems and certifications does PRISES have?

PRISES operates under an ISO 13485 quality management system and holds a Class II medical device production licence in China. The facility has been subject to supplier and customer assessments. Selected products hold CE documentation or other product-specific certificates. Certification and registration status varies by product and by destination market, so customers should request and verify the documents for the exact product before registration, importation or commercial promotion.

How accurate are PRISES rapid tests?

Clinical performance for each PRISES product, including sensitivity and specificity, is stated in that product's instructions for use and supported by its performance evaluation data. Figures differ by product, sample type and cut-off level, so PRISES does not publish a single accuracy figure for the whole product range. Performance evaluation reports and validation summaries can be provided for a specific product on request, and are normally supplied as part of a registration or tender submission.

What is the shelf life and how should products be stored?

Shelf life is 24 or 36 months depending on the product. Storage conditions are 2-30°C or 4-30°C depending on the product, away from direct sunlight, with the device kept in its sealed foil pouch until use. The exact shelf life and storage range for each product are printed on the product label and stated in the instructions for use, and should always be verified against the documents for the specific product supplied.

What documents can PRISES provide to distributors?

PRISES can provide product specifications, instructions for use, packaging information, quality documents, certificate of analysis and batch documentation, and selected product-specific certification or registration materials. Batch records are traceable by lot number. Document availability varies by product, destination country and project stage, and some technical or confidential materials are provided only after product confirmation or under a confidentiality agreement.

Does PRISES support product registration in my country?

Yes. PRISES supports customers registering products in their own market by providing the manufacturer documents normally required by health authorities, which may include the ISO 13485 certificate, free sale certificate, letter of authorization, product technical documentation and performance data. Notarization and legalization can be arranged where the destination authority requires it. The registration application itself is submitted by the local licence holder, since most markets require the applicant to be a locally established entity. Requirements differ significantly between markets, so please share the destination country and the product list at an early stage.

How does PRISES handle quality complaints and after-sales issues?

Quality complaints should be reported to PRISES with the product name, lot number, quantity affected, a description of the issue and supporting photos or test records. PRISES acknowledges the complaint, opens an investigation and tests the retained samples of the same lot at the factory. The customer receives an investigation outcome with the root cause assessment and the corrective action taken. Where a non-conformance is confirmed, replacement or another commercial remedy is agreed based on the order terms and the quantity affected.

Company & Partnership

Questions about PRISES and partnership opportunities.

Who is PRISES and where is the factory located?

Gaobeidian PRISES Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a Chinese manufacturer of in-vitro diagnostic rapid tests, with its production facility in Gaobeidian, Hebei Province, China. PRISES manufactures pregnancy and ovulation tests, infectious disease, respiratory and drugs-of-abuse rapid tests and urinalysis strips, and supplies distributors, importers, laboratories and private-label customers internationally.
