Research & product development

From idea to market — one continuous program.

Seven offers that follow each other without a hand-over: from the first feasibility note to the reference that defines the product. Each one states what you bring and what XALPES delivers.

01

Feasibility & applied research

Analysis of the real need, state of the art, technical constraints, risk mapping and material choices. The program starts with a written assessment of what is achievable, at what cost, and what remains uncertain.

What you bring

  • An idea, a need, a concept or an existing patent
  • Target use, constraints and any prior data

What we deliver

  • Feasibility report: state of the art, constraints, risks, options
  • Material and architecture recommendations, program plan
02

Prototyping

Mock-ups, functional prototypes, iterations and pre-series. Each iteration is measured on a bench before the next one is designed.

What you bring

  • Validated concept or feasibility report
  • Performance targets and acceptance criteria

What we deliver

  • Prototypes with their measurement records
  • Iteration log, design files, pre-series where relevant
03

Product creation

From a concept or an existing patent base to a finished, marketable product: design for manufacturing, industrialization, technical file and preparation of the qualification phases required by the target market.

What you bring

  • A validated prototype or a patent base to build on
  • Target markets and volumes

What we deliver

  • Industrialized design, supplier and process definition
  • Technical file and qualification-readiness dossier
04

Market study

Market sizing, positioning, mapping of the regulatory and normative requirements applicable in each target market, distribution channels and pricing hypotheses.

What you bring

  • Product definition and candidate markets
  • Existing commercial assumptions, if any

What we deliver

  • Market study with regulatory and normative map per market
  • Positioning, channels and go-to-market recommendations
05

Patents & intellectual property

Drafting, filing (national, PCT), management and monitoring of the portfolio, trademark strategy. Preparation and filing are coordinated with qualified IP counsel where required. No outcome is promised: a filing is a procedure, not a result.

What you bring

  • The invention, its technical file and prior art known to you
  • Target territories and budget envelope

What we deliver

  • Drafts, filings and portfolio follow-up coordinated with IP counsel
  • Trademark and reference strategy aligned with the product
06

Standards & references

When no reference exists to compare a product's performance, XALPES creates one: a measurable quantity, anchored thresholds, declared limits and refutation conditions, published openly. Example: the XRS scale. In preparation: the FFC marking.

What you bring

  • A performance that matters and that nothing grades
  • Access to measurements or the means to obtain them

What we deliver

  • A technical reference with its evidence file and governance
  • Declaration regimes and marking rules, where applicable
07

Testing & characterization

Performance characterization on our own benches and with our own instruments, test protocols and technical documentation, by the Testing Laboratory Division. Regulatory tests are conducted by qualified third-party laboratories where required.

What you bring

  • Samples, prototypes or media to characterize
  • The question the measurement must answer

What we deliver

Case study

NUCLEAID — the complete program.

Presented as a method, without performance data.

  1. Idea + existing patent base

    Analysis of the need and of the existing patent base; feasibility and constraints.

  2. Design & characterization

    Prototypes measured on our benches, iterations, technical file.

  3. Finished, marketable product

    Industrialized design, supplier definition, qualification-readiness dossier.

  4. Patent filed and managed

    Filing and portfolio follow-up coordinated with IP counsel.

  5. Reference created where needed

    Where no reference graded the relevant performance, XALPES wrote one.

  6. Market

    Regulatory map, positioning and channels per target market.

How to work with us

Two ways to engage XALPES.

Mode 1

Direct request

Companies, inventors, investors and organizations: XALPES takes the program end to end, from the first analysis to the technical file, the intellectual property and the market.

  • One interlocutor from idea to industrialization
  • Documented, traceable technical evidence at each step
  • Intellectual property and reference strategy included
Describe your project
Mode 2

Subcontracting for existing laboratories

For existing laboratories and testing organizations: XALPES works in white label or as co-contractor. Deliverables are returned to the ordering laboratory, which remains the sole interlocutor of its client. Confidentiality by default.

  • Protocol design, characterization, instrument development
  • Reconstruction of technical files and overflow capacity
  • Deliverables in the ordering laboratory's own format
