Enplas is a world-class plastic microfluidics manufacturer with the ability to produce a million microfluidic chips with the precision of ±1um or less channel depth variation. Enplas is also a down-to-earth team of engineers that work with you attentively on microfluidic solutions to achieve your performance goals. Tackling droplet generation or contamination issues when transferring to a plastic chip? Shorten development time and receive reliable microfluidic chips that replicate performance in high-volume production.
Looking for a system that can simplify and reduce the size of your microfluidic operation equipment while conducting many functions like mixing, washing, isolation with magnets, DNA/RNA amplification, and more, all on one chip? Explore our RMVP system.
Enplas provides problem solving and mass production of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) fluid seals, including overmolded components and independent gaskets. Experiencing leaks from an interface between your chips and pipette tips? Elastomer gasket pulled off from threaded reagent bottle caps? Enplas helps analyze the root cause, collaborates on a design that maximizes sealing performance while optimizing production and cost, and produces them in prototyping or high volumes.
Frustrated with fragile and mobile lyobeads that are hard to handle? Enplas’s novel lyophilization mesh pod features a protective plastic casing with which you can directly lyophilize your reagents (no more dropping in liquid nitrogen with restrictive mass), easily handle them manually or with automation (no more chasing or breaking lyobeads with tweezers or robot arms), and dispense them without agitation (the mesh can remove the air bubbles). Enplas custom manufactures your lyophilization pods in the size you need.
For applications such as reliable drug delivery, accurate dispensing, or medical robots, Enplas offers design and manufacturing of precision plastic gears. If your medical gear application requires non-fail performance such as precise metering or reliable locks, trust Enplas’s scientific gear design and manufacturing technology to ensure reliable delivery of high-performing gears.
Enplas supplies a wide range of custom plastic components and devices to market-leading OEMs and cutting-edge medtech companies. These include critical functional products such as no-leak connector of tubes or components, fluid or air-sealing interfaces between equipment and device, casings or manifolds with reagent reservoirs that operate fluids, and more. For plastic products that require engineering for ensured performance and high quality, reach out for a discussion with our engineers.
From microfluidics to overmolded fluid seals to assembled diagnostic consumables, Enplas provides full development and manufacturing solutions. Enplas engineers provide support all along the process to meet or exceed the product performance you need, from long-term development projects to time-crunched product launch.
For successful and stress-free transition from a 3D printed or machined medical/diagnostic device to an injection-moldable design, Enplas customers enjoy dedicated engineering service for problem solving and thorough design for manufacturability (DFM). In addition to ensuring quality and optimizing cost-effective mass production, Enplas focuses on maximizing your medical or diagnostic device performance through our manufacturing techniques and knowledge in resin properties. Enplas offers various prototyping molds and production to meet your performance evaluation needs. Services include:
Small design changes during DFM can have an outsized effect on microfluidics flow performance. When a design transition from PDMS to a plastic chip causes performance issues, Enplas can propose plastic fluidics designs that leverage our proprietary microfluidics design and performance database. These designs can be quickly tested with our “single-function chips” to see if the design achieves the fluidic performance you need.
Enplas understands that every product that our essential healthcare and life science customers ship MUST meet required product performance. To safeguard this, Enplas’s mass production services deliver medical-grade quality products maintained by scientific molding processes, advanced equipment, and our deep expertise in plastics. Inquire about integration of your reagent lyophilization or reagent onboarding to our plastic device manufacturing for further production optimizations. Our service offerings include:
Enplas is one of the few experts in the industry that can consistently injection mold intricate microfluidics to the volume of a million copies.
Enplas provides high-quality custom injection molding solutions and products based on six decades of accumulated research and expertise for a variety of industries.
