- Micronics offers the most sophisticated and rapid lab card prototyping
facility in the world today, including an extensive materials
and designs library.
- Micronics is capable of producing over 100,000 prototype lab
cards per year in its Class 10000 clean room facility.
- Micronics is the world leader in the use of thin film laminates
and injection molding solutions in lab card development

Micronics' full service lab card development capabilities include
- Fluidic modeling as a core component of card design
- On-card sample preparation, mixing/separation and analysis
- Reagent printing and waste storage on card
- Surface chemistries and materials analysis and selection for optimum
card performance
- Integration of filters, arrays, slides, electrodes and other components on card
Micronics' platform technology and prototyping expertise allow it to
incorporate a broad range of technologies and chemistries into the lab
card format. We also offer extensive experience in providing essential
"microplumbing" of fluids to on-card micro-electrical-mechanical (MEMS)
devices, sensors, adsorbents, lateral flow strips, reagents, membranes,
and can also embed glass, silicon, and other features on card.
New projects typically begin with a project concept received from the
client - simply tell us what you would like the end product to achieve.
Micronics then provides a detailed Project Development Plan, complete
with deliverables, timelines and pricing.
Services are provided on a contract basis. License rights to Micronics'
intellectual property that may be incorporated into the finished product
are available and may be negotiated at project outset or upon completion,
as well as at any time during the development phase.
Examples of lab cards that Micronics has developed or is developing to
date on behalf of its clients include devices for:
 |
- Sample preparation
- Antigen/antibody detection
- DNA/RNA amplification -e.g. PCR, NASBA, LAMP
- Amplification-based detection of E.coli
- Amplification-based panel detection of sexually transmittable
diseases
- Amplification-based detection of respiratory disease
- Fluorescent and bead-based assays for soil and air sample analysis
- In vitro fertilization
- RNA extraction
- Integrated clinical chemistries
- Full range immunoassays
- PDMS compatible universal test cards

Micronics provides lab card development services with the intent of serving
as its clients' commercial lab card supplier. The company partners with established commercial facilities for production of disposables as well as instruments.
Micronics also offers complete design/build services for lab cards that
interface with an instrument, such as portable or handheld systems. Micronics
partners with established instrument design/build services including Stratos
Product Development (Seattle, WA) and Invetech Pty Ltd (Melbourne, AU).
