OUR OFFER
from idea to prototyping to high volume production
Countless people rely on Flow Alliance for quality products they can trust. Our products are manufactured with superior materials, exceptional care and the best technologies available. That’s why our production team never cuts corners, and takes the time, effort and resources necessary to ensure all products reach our high standards.
EXPERT ADVICE
Flow Alliance offers 25 years of experience in the replication of nanostructures and microstructures in optically clear products. What’s more, we can fully support your development and production demands. With our optics capabilities we enable direct optical readouts in the chip.
We provide expertise in optimal moulding processes, sample preparation, flow control (integrated valves and pumps), surface treatments and bonding processes. Additionally, we offer reliable high-quality manufacturing in injection moulding, post processing, (hybrid) assembly and packaging in certified clean environments.
PROTOTYPING SERVICES
Our prototyping services enable you to easily and efficiently test your design according to its specifications. We can quickly provide you with polymer samples either made directly into a polymer substrate by micro-milling or hot embossing, molded in our own mold bases, or for your validation, produced with dedicated injection molding tools. We offer the best sampling solution for all your project phases.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The development of a successful microfluidic consumable starts with a good and reliable design. One that is suitable for volume manufacturing and the shortest possible time to market. How do we get you there? By combining the know-how of the complete supply chain offered by the Flow Alliance. We are strong in integrating various functions and technologies into one consumable, always with high quality and economical manufacturing in mind.
MANUFACTURING
When it comes to manufacturing, we'll walk you through all the necessary steps to ensure the flawless production of your device. We use a Gamp-V model to build and validate the equipment to define the requirements and specifications. We are working on Process FMEA’s (Failure Mode and Effects Analyzes and DOE’s (Design of Experiments) to learn where the risks are, what measures to take, which backup situations to agree on, and to learn how variables affect the manufacturing process. Finally, we create a device master record, a complete documentation set of all files associated with the project.
Medical standards
We are certified for ‘the development and manufacturing of medical devices’, and offer our partnership to support you during the development and manufacturing of your smart consumables.
