- Significantly lower tooling cost
- Rapid design changes
- Higher tolerance control and repeatability
Common Applications for Microfluidic and Lab-on-a-Chip Devices:
In Vitro Diagnostics, microfluidic and Lab-On-a-Chip products are commonly used for Point-of-Care (POC) Diagnostics. The advancement of microfluidic technology has helped POC testing devices become faster, more portable, and more economical to manufacture. This has become important as medicine and healthcare need accurate, portable diagnostics to move towards personalized healthcare and early diagnosis of diseases. Here are some of the applications for microfluidics devices and Lab-on-a-Chip products:
- Immunoassays
- Clinical Chemistry
- Molecular Diagnostics
- Whole Blood Monitoring
- Infectious Disease Detection
- Electrolyte and Enzyme Analysis
- Glucose Monitoring
- Human Diagnostics
- Protein Separation
- Chemical Synthesis
Automated Layering & Stacking
We manufacture microfluidic laminates by carefully aligning layers of thin films and adhesives with different features and then robotically stacking and bonding them together. The buildup of these layers creates sub-assemblies or the complete microfluidic device. We have proprietary automation equipment to perform precision layering and stacking at high volumes while maintaining tight tolerance control between the layers and repeatability between each assembled device.
Reagent & Chemistry Handling
Our automated reagent placement and coating machines apply chemistries to microfluidic devices with precision at high volumes.
Roll-to-Roll Laser Cutting
Our proprietary roll-to-roll laser systems cut microchannels in films, foils, adhesives, and tapes with speed and precision.
Rotary and Flatbed Die Cutting
We use rotary and flatbed die cutting to press and mechanically cut features into pressure-sensitive materials. These capabilities create the multiple layers used to build up microfluidic devices or other components.
