Raw Description
Advanced Biomedical Instrumentation Centre Limited (“ABIC”) is collaborative effort coordinated by the University of Hong Kong (HKU) undertaking R&D projects at the Hong Kong Science Park. The aim of the Centre is to develop new and disruptive biomedical instrumentation that will meet the growing needs in medicine and contribute sustainably to human health. Applications are invited for research posts for innovative research projects in the themes of Screening Tests / Personalized Companion Diagnostics / Strategic Therapeutics Approaches / Advanced Medical Device Components based at the Hong Kong Science Park.

Strategic Analysis

Executive Brief

Advanced Biomedical Instrumentation Centre Limited (ABIC) is a high-level R&D hub based in the Hong Kong Science Park, born from a collaboration with the University of Hong Kong (HKU). They focus on bridging the gap between academic innovation and commercial medical devices, specifically in high-sensitivity diagnostics, personalized medicine, and "disruptive" instrumentation components.

Strategic Fit & Lead Score

Lead Score: 78/100

Why this Score? While ABIC is not a "diamond company," they are a Material Innovation Hub. Their core themes—Screening Tests, Personalized Diagnostics, and Advanced Medical Device Components—align perfectly with the unique properties of Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) and Single-Crystal Diamond (SCD). As an R&D center, they are prime candidates for either custom-engineered diamond components for their prototypes or a custom 6C MPCVD system to establish a world-class diamond-biotech laboratory in Hong Kong.

6C Solutions Proposal

Application Area 6C Solution Technical Value Prop
Personalized Diagnostics BDD Electrodes BDD offers the widest electrochemical potential window and lowest background current, enabling detection of biomarkers at concentrations traditional electrodes cannot reach.
Advanced Device Components SCD/PCD Coating Diamond is 100% biocompatible and chemically inert. Coating surgical tools or implantable sensors reduces friction and prevents protein fouling/allergic reactions.
Strategic Therapeutics High-Thermal PCD For therapeutic devices using high-power RF or Lasers, PCD heat spreaders (2000 W/mK) prevent thermal damage to surrounding biological tissue by localizing heat dissipation.
R&D Infrastructure Custom MPCVD Reactor Enables ABIC to grow their own proprietary diamond-doped sensors or "Lab-on-a-chip" devices in-house at HK Science Park.
Microfluidics Diamond Windows/Substrates Exceptional optical transparency from UV to Far-IR for high-resolution real-time imaging of cellular interactions within microfluidic devices.

Engagement Hooks

  • Technical Question: "Many next-generation electrochemical biosensors face limitations with electrode fouling and narrow potential windows. Have you explored how Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD) could stabilize your personalized companion diagnostic platforms and increase sensitivity by 10x?"
  • Value Statement: "6C provides ABIC with the material platform—from ultra-pure SCD to electrochemical BDD—to transform 'disruptive' biomedical concepts into clinically resilient, diamond-enhanced instruments."
