Innovative Plastic Microfluidics Solutions

Enplas partners with clients to provide optimization solutions for the development, manufacture, and functionality of their precision microfluidic devices. Contact us or visit our microfluidics solutions page to discover how the latest developments in plastics technologies can help innovate your products.

Case Study

A client needed the ability to use multiple reagents without contamination while reducing dead volume. Enplas incorporated a rotary membrane valve and pump, allowing the client to control over 20 liquids with a single rotational axis, prevent contamination, and reduce a multi-valve method to one.

Enplas offers a suite of solutions for common and unique microfluidics goals, with and without major design changes. Consult the table below for the solution that’s right for you.
