PCR Development and Manufacturing

EnplasGlobal-Plastic-Solutions

Enplas specializes in the development and manufacture of the custom plastic devices, consumables, and components used in high-quality, high-performance PCR devices. From intricate microfluidic chips to entire cartridges and housings, we provide highly specialized engineering support, product development, manufacturing, and assembly services at globally recognized quality standards.

Enplas has decades of experience developing and mass-producing PCR products for both large, industrial-scale laboratories and point-of-care testing (POCT) devices. Our expertise allows for a fast path to product launch and ensures a reliable supply of high-performing PCR devices at a commercial scale. Our products have served market-leading customers with great success.

From Intricate Microfluidic Chips to Entire PCR Cartridges

Enplas is your one-stop solution for PCR device manufacturing needs. We meet complex requirements such as injection molding a million microfluidic chips with only a ±1μm channel depth tolerance, engineering and overmolding cartridges with leak-tight fluid seals, onboarding lyophilized reagents, automated assembly of complete cartridges, and more.

Our microfluidics manufacturing solutions include material combinations, lamination with PCR compatible films, and bio-compatible assembly methods that withstand PCR requirements. Enplas also provides scalable device assembly of gaskets, nozzles, and other components such as tubes and pouches with automation.

Speed and Flexibility

Enplas offers speed and agility in developing and manufacturing PCR products. We understand that customers may be under tight schedules for FDA approval or that product demand may spike in a short period. Enplas engineers stay flexible and proactive to meet your timelines and product needs.

Enplas’s design-for-manufacturing (DFM) approach includes prototyping while keeping mass production in mind. By incorporating mass production considerations from the start, Enplas prevents prototype designs from being unsuccessful in transitioning to a scalable mass production process. This early-stage engineering also speeds up production ramp up and keeps the process cost efficient.

Customers receive engineering consultation and faster problem solving appropriate for PCR applications due to Enplas’s expertise in PCR devices.
