Microfluidics in plastic injection molding – the path to series production

Microfluidic diagnostic tools are in high demand across medicine and life sciences, as these mini-laboratories in disc format enable rapid and precise analytical results directly at the point of care. In addition to diagnostics and pharmaceutical research, environmental analysis – such as wastewater testing – also benefits from this technology. Medical-grade plastics are an ideal material for these lab-on-a-chip diagnostic tools. In this whitepaper, we demonstrate how modern, automated plastic injection molding enables the series production of complex microfluidic components, and the crucial role played by upstream and downstream manufacturing processes.
