Manufacturing microfluidic devices requires sophisticated techniques. These sensitive strips or discs transport, protect and detect important samples of blood or other fluids that give patients and their caregivers the crucial information they need. Microfluidic devices are usually small and have intricate channels and circuits which require a lot of attention and care to assemble and manufacture.

This paper will take you through tape components used in microfluidic device design. It will outline common, required steps to manufacture them.

Manufacturing challenges can often complicate the already demanding job of medical device design.

To help you successfully get ahead of these challenges, we compiled our knowledge from working with design engineers and device manufacturers around the world into a guide – “A design engineer’s guide to manufacturing challenges: Finding balance between design, material & production.”

It will help you learn from obstacles others have experienced, ultimately helping you navigate the development process more efficiently.
