Controlled Fluidics engineers and manufactures bonded plastic manifolds for OEM components and systems that require precise fluid control, reliable scale-up processes, and repeatable quality. Our team supports you from the start with reviews of designs for manufacturability (DFM) through validation and ongoing production with processes tailored for medical, diagnostics, life science, industrial, and semiconductor fluidic assemblies.

ENGINEERED FOR OPTIMAL OEM PERFORMANCE

Controlled Fluidics combines precision machining, bonding, and microfluidic expertise to help OEMs reduce leak paths, simplify assembly, and improve system reliability with each manifold solution optimized for the 3 main factors: flow, pressure, and chemical requirements. We also ensure that components are aligned with your volume and cost targets from prototype through full production. Working with us means that you get:

  • Design support to translate tubing and fittings into integrated bonded manifolds.
  • Material selection for biocompatibility, optical clarity, and chemical resistance.
  • Scalable processes that reduce risk transferring from prototype to higher volume manufacturing.

BONDED MULTILAYER MANIFOLDS FOR COMPLEX FLOW PATHS

Bonded multilayer manifolds are ideal when your device requires complex 3D channel routing, bends, crossovers, or integrated features that cannot be achieved with straight drilling alone. Multiple plastic layers are machined then bonded to create precise internal geometries while maintaining a compact footprint.

  • Integrate valves, filters, sensors, and optical paths into a single assembly.
  • Reduce assembly steps and leak points compared to tubing and fittings.
  • Support for pilot builds and validated production runs.

DRILLED SINGLE-LAYER MANIFOLDS FOR COST-EFFECTIVE DESIGNS

For OEM organizations that need straightforward flow paths and fast development, drilled manifolds offer a simple and lower-cost solution. Channels are created by precision machining in a single plastic block, avoiding multilayer bonding while still delivering accurate flow control and easy port access.

  • Ideal for early-stage prototypes and lower-complexity instruments.
  • Simplifies design, inspection, and cleaning compared to multi-part assemblies.
  • Can be a bridge to multilayer or injection-molded solutions as volumes grow.

MICROFLUIDICS PLATFORMS FOR MICROSCOPIC OPERATIONS

Controlled Fluidics supports OEMs developing microfluidic cartridges and manifolds for diagnostics, life science, and analytical applications. Micro-scale channels and features are engineered for controlled mixing, separation, and detection with surface finishes and tight tolerances tuned to your assay needs.  

  • Support for microfluidic chips, cartridges, and hybrid macro–micro manifolds.
  • Integration of optical windows, detection zones, and sample preparation features.
  • Process development to bridge from R&D pilots to cartridge production.
