Crafting Tomorrow's Plastics with Nature's Blueprint
CUSTOM PLASTICS FOR THERAPEUTIC USE & BIOTECHNOLOGY
Our custom plastic components, manifolds, and assemblies align seamlessly with therapeutic and biotechnology needs. Whether it's fulfilling the need for plastic microfabrication for bioprocessing or high-purity plastic components for fluid handling systems, our CNC machining and specialized bonding techniques deliver the products exactly according to specs.
Some other life science related uses for plastic are:
- Genetic engineering, synthetic biology, biopharmaceuticals
- Agriculture and environmental science applications (e.g. water and soil analysis)
- Drug development
- Forensic and toxicology (e.g. DNA analysis, biochemical detection)
CUSTOM & SPECIALIZED LIFE SCIENCE SOLUTIONS
We offer tailor-made solutions to even the most niche problems within the life science industries. We take care to address each project's specific requirements that work towards the goals of understanding biological systems, developing new therapies, or advancing scientific knowledge. Whether you need precision plastic machining with USP Class VI plastics or assembled bioanalytical instruments, there's a perfectly fitted solution that Controlled Fluidics can manufacture.
COLLABORATIVE PRODUCTIONS
We specialize in bringing ideas to life through advanced plastic manufacturing techniques, using not only our advanced CNC machines but also our innovative plastic bonding to create truly unique and specific products. We work with a wide variety of sectors to foster an environment of shared knowledge to propel life science forward. We create plastic components and manifolds to meet the needs of:
- Precision Fluidic Systems
