Advanced Diffusion Bonded Manifolds
For Precision Fluid Control in Life Sciences Instrumentation
We’re helping life science instrument design engineers improve precision and reliability in their fluidic systems. Our advanced diffusion-bonded manifold manufacturing technology provides durability, reliability, and customization for a wide range of diagnostic and research applications.
Transforming Fluid Control
Diffusion bonding is a specialized manufacturing process that involves joining layers of materials at the molecular level without adhesives or fillers, typically with heat and pressure. The result is a leak-free, high-integrity manifold with complex internal channel configurations, allowing precise fluid or gas distribution in a small footprint.
Our diffusion-bonded manifolds are ideal for diagnostics, central lab and point-of-care applications, automation, genomics and proteomics research, microfluidic systems, and DNA sequencing.
Key innovations and advantages:
- Leak-Free Performance: The diffusion bonding process ensures robust, seamless layers, preventing leaks and ensuring long-term reliability.
- Custom Channel Designs: Our technology allows for intricate 3D flow paths and multi-layer channel configurations, enabling custom fluid control tailored to specific instrument designs.
- Material Versatility: Manufactured from your choice of engineering plastics, including Acrylic (PMMA), Ultem (PEI), Polycarbonate (PC), and Polysulfone (PSU), giving the designer the ability to optimize for the application
- Compact and Efficient: The design of diffusion-bonded manifolds minimizes the need for external connections, reducing the overall size of fluid control systems and simplifying integration into laboratory equipment.
- Engineering Support: We want to collaborate with you on your manifold to ensure an outcome that exceeds your expectations. Together, we can create the best manifold assembly for your requirements.
- Concept to Production: We work with clients from the early concept stage, through prototyping and pilot, to commercial launch and serial production. We understand the requirements for speed of iteration early in the cycle, quality throughout, and partnership during the entire lifecycle.
We offer a collaborative design and development process, working closely with fluidic design engineers to create manifold assemblies that meet specific application requirements. These assemblies can include integrated components such as solenoid valves, sensors, heaters, chambers, bubble detection, and our industry-first IERV rotary valves.
