Clinical Diagnostics

Biocompatible, low-carryover, leak-free clinical diagnostic assemblies—repeatable results, uptime—qualified/tested sub-assemblies, integrity packaging, DHR-validated cleanliness & materials traceability.

AFP’s application of advanced design and manufacturing methods enable clinical diagnostic systems that generate higher sensitivity, superior accuracy with greater repeatability. Our diffusion-bonded manifolds and Intelligent Electronic Shear Valves (IERV) satisfy OEMs’ needs for precision fluidic technologies that achieve patient test results never thought possible. AFP’s fluid control components and assemblies are found in the leading in vitro diagnostic, clinical chemistry, flow cytometry, hematology, immunoassay, and point-of-care applications.

Driving clinical diagnostic instrument performance to previously unimagined levels

Advanced, Diffusion-Bonded Manifolds

AFP’s layered, diffusion-bonded manifolds help shrink and simplify fluidic sub-systems, reducing instrument size and complexity. These manifolds efficiently route samples, reagents, mixtures, and waste through clinical diagnostic systems, eliminating connection points removes their opportunity to leak. They can be populated with components such as solenoid valves, rotary valves, pressure and flow sensors, degassers, fittings, tubing, and check valves. Our advanced manufacturing technology provides the opportunity to functionally test the manifold assemblies guaranteeing their functionality in diagnostic, central lab, and point-of-care applications.
