Integrate Reagent Onboarding with Cleanroom Injection Molding and Assembly
Enplas completes all of your plastic consumable production processes from cleanroom injection molding, reagent lyophilization, reagent onboarding and assembly to packaging–all under one roof. Any assembly involving lyophilized reagents will be in a low humidity-controlled environment. This integrated manufacturing can reduce time and cost compared to third-party outsourced reagent handling.

Mold Transfer
Enplas can assist with navigating the critical process of moving your medical injection molding and assembly from in-house production, a different supplier, or an overseas provider to our facility to achieve your supply chain goals. Transferring production may take the form of building new molds or tools, or a transfer of your existing molds or tools. Enplas is prepared either way: We have a proficient in-house tooling team, and our engineers are experienced with mold transfers. We’ll be your partner every step of the way.
Medical and Diagnostic Customers
We serve industry leaders as well as growing startups.
Our market-leading customers include top global diagnostics companies, medtechs, and OEMs that are:
- Looking for a transitional manufacturing partner from product launch until before in-house production capacity is reached.
- Or vice-versa, looking to outsource and ramp up production of custom components.
- Searching for a trusted second supplier to secure procurement.
- Needing to transfer molds due to dissatisfaction with current supplier for inconsistent quality, lack of communication, or supply disruption.
Our innovative, growing start-up customers in various life science fields often:
- Are developing a product with near-future mass production in mind.
- Have a product ready and want to ramp up production.
- Are at the final stages of prototyping sample parts, but timelines are suffering from inconsistency, low quality parts, or revision difficulties with a low-cost prototyping service.
- Need a trusted manufacturing partner to help them take the next step of delivering their existing products to a larger market.
Many customers come to us struggling with low-cost, low-quality tools that wear out quickly and cause problems after the initial few shots. Enplas promises quality for the duration of the guaranteed tool life and offers revisions as your product evolves.
Enplas supports your product starting from thousands to achieving millions of parts manufactured.
Medical Plastic Materials
We offer a stable supply of raw materials from our decades of experience and established network in the industry. Our strong network allows us to provide you with the most consistent service possible without supply disruption.
We have deep expertise in materials used for medical and life science products, including:
- Engineering-grade materials including Polycarbonate (PC)
- Materials suited for clear transparent parts, such as cyclic olefins (COP and COC)
- Rubber-like thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) including thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for fluid sealing
- Other popular materials such as polypropylene (PP), PMMA, PEI, and more
Mass production of components manufactured with certain materials requires dedicated attention and expertise to achieve consistent quality. Enplas has a track record of delivering quality parts using these materials.
