Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Cartridges

Design and build better AST cartridges for microbiology research and point-of-care testing with strategic expertise in lab-on-a-chip contract manufacturing.

With antibiotic resistance on the rise, innovation in AST is ever more essential.

However, creating new and better AST cartridges to meet the challenges of modern medicine head-on isn’t easy. Between consistently fabricating precise components, avoiding compatibility issues between cartridge materials and test reagents, and ensuring proper integration of detection components, there is no shortage of challenges—and the tools and expertise to overcome them can seem just out of reach.

That’s why we’re here to help you build a better antimicrobial susceptibility testing product.

Why Contract Manufacturing Means Better Antimicrobial Sensitivity Test Solutions

Developing, designing, and bringing a new antimicrobial susceptibility testing tool to market is risky business—unless you have a contract manufacturer on your side to shoulder the burdens of those risks. Strategic partnership means you have a more reliable, cost-effective way to leverage state-of-the-art technology, engineering capabilities, and logistics expertise you need to succeed.
