TRUSTED BY 100+ BUSINESSES INCLUDING
The path to a production-ready device is rarely linear, especially when regulations shift, suppliers consolidate, and timelines compress. Controlled Fluidics designs and manufactures plastic lab manifolds and diagnostic plastic manifolds built for teams that can't afford ambiguity. Every component we manufacture keeps to precise geometries, compatible materials, and necessary documentation that holds up under scrutiny. If you're evaluating the best manufacturer for scalable custom labware configurations for high-throughput labs, the answer starts with a partner who understands your validation requirements before the first chip is cut. Explore more below.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
For Engineering & Techincal Leads
Concepts to Components
Turn labware concepts into real plastic components that maintain flatness, critical dimensions, and nest features for robotic pipetting and automated handling.
Effective Materials
Match materials that effectively handle caustic chemicals, sterilizing temperatures, and complex internal geometries without leaks or warping.
Experienced Manufacturer
Partner with a manufacturer experienced in precision machining and bonding COP/COC, PC, PS, PMMA, and other specialty plastics used in imaging and detection.
Optimized Designs
Optimize your design’s geometry and tolerances through demonstrated DFM guidance from our team of engineers.
For Procurement & Sourcing Teams
Labware Exposure
Reduce Exposure to labware stockouts and tariffs by partnering with a specialized plastics manufacturer that supports flexible volumes and resilient supply.
Labware Design
Design and produce labware that actually works on today’s robotic decks with controlled flatness, fiducials, and nests for reliable picks and seals.
Lower Risk
Lessen risk of non‑compliant plastic components with documentation and quality control that simplify audits and change control.
Cut Costs
Cut hidden costs by integrating manifolds and machined parts that lower warranty risks and service calls.
POLYMER SELECTION FOR LABWARE & ANALYTICAL DEVICES
Choose plastics meant for your assays, automation, & sterilization.
Designing microplates, cartridges, manifolds, or other labware? Our newly updated white paper walks through key considerations around chemical exposure, temperature cycling, and sterilization methods. Now engineering and sourcing can align before designs are locked in.
Inside, you’ll find out how to:
- Pair labware polymers with your assays, reagents, and temperature ranges without premature cracking or warping.
- Factor in sterilization (EtO, autoclave, gamma, etc.) when selecting materials for plates, cartridges, and manifolds.
- Understand trade‑offs between machining, molding, and hybrid approaches for volumes and flexibility.
- Design with automation, optics, and traceability in mind for high‑throughput and robotic labs.
