31 Years of

Unparalleled Service

For 31 years we have helped many organisations in the life sciences and related fields with their highly specific microfluidic and customisable fine-line microcircuitry requirements, from concept through to product realisation.


Few organisations within our industry offer this same level of expertise on the best approach for your particular application.

The Service Journey

Our experience has helped us to develop our range of services to include something to suit a diverse range of clients. Whether you know exactly what you need or are looking for some expert advice to guide you towards selecting the right solution for your needs, rest assured that our team will always be on hand to help.

 

Whether you are looking for a consultative ‘one on one’ service, a team collaboration or just require us to be part of your supply chain we are equally capable of supplying what you require.

 

Our service steps include:

01

Introduction
 

After initial contact, professional confidentiality is provided and a non-disclosure agreement can be arranged to protect all information. All contact is documented to ensure fast and appropriate responses. Tele and video conferencing is available or visiting us in person.

02

Feasibility
 

Based on our analysis of your requirements, we can suggest the best and most efficient and way to meet your goals. At this point, timescales and cost estimates care outlined.

03

Design / Iteration
 

We can work with your concept design or provide solutions using our own design expertise. You will be involved in each iteration and final designs version will be reviewed and approved by both parties.

04

Prototype
 

Our manufacturing process is well suited for rapid turnaround and small-scale manufacture of potential design iterations. All iterations are documented and controlled to ensure traceability.

05

Pre-production
 

If required, a small to mid-scale manufacturing run can be produced to evaluate performance over large samples. Our manufacturing process is optimised for quality, cost and efficiency.

06

Ramp Up Production
 

Our state-of-the-art manufacturing capability is best placed and supply chain optimised to provide mid to high volume with consistent quality and delivery.
