Watch Free Web Session: Deep Dive Into Microfluidics Manufacturing and Microarrays

 

In the course of bringing a fully integrated diagnostic consumable to market, the initial volumes of product needed are naturally low as a company works its way through testing, regulatory approval and early launch activities. Due to the lower volume manufacturing in this phase, manufacturing costs can be challenging if not prohibitive. Because of this, companies need the ability to launch a product with high quality and a commercially viable cost structure at lower volumes until the point is reached when demand for high volume manufacturing kicks in.  An important way to bridge this gap is to partner with a contract manufacturer that has the right pilot line production infrastructure in place. Therefore, understanding what the right infrastructure looks like is important in making such a decision.  In this presentation, participants will learn key factors to consider for pilot line manufacturing infrastructure and the role these factors play in enabling a commercially successful path to automated high-volume production. 

 

 

Over the course of the last twenty five years, the utilization of functional coating chemistries on glass for medical diagnostic applications has advanced significantly. Although wet-chemical deposition and other methodologies have been and still remain important, recently this industry and its applications are evolving in ways such that more is needed to meet the demand for specific functionalities, increased performance and higher throughput. In this webinar, you will learn how Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) enabled coatings can help with these challenges. This will include how CVD allows the production of standard alkoxysilane chemistries in a more customizable manner for improved functionality in applications with unique surface chemistry requirements.  You will also learn how CVD enables the coating of a wider variety of glass formats, including flat glass (e.g., biochips, slides, and wafers) as well as glass with structures (e.g., microfluidic channels, through-holes).
