Your Trusted Partner in Contract Manufacturing for Analytical and Life Science Instruments

AFP specializes in the manufacture of custom fluid control components and sub-assemblies for analytical laboratory instruments and clinical diagnostic systems. Our design-to-delivery capabilities features exceptional manufacturing expertise plus the industry’s highest-quality production platform.

Value Beyond Manufacturing

We provide OEMs with value that goes beyond manufacturing to ensure the highest quality and performance from their instruments.

Leak-tight sub-assemblies: These products are designed and machined for maximum sealing integrity to ensure sample purity. Our expertise produces flawless surface finishes in valve and manifold channels to minimize cross-contamination and eliminate particulate adhesion. We also offer analytical cleaning and certification with clean room assembly.

Vertical integration across the entire supply chain: From product design to complex manufacturing to simplified supply chain, we bring all the custom manufacturing capabilities together in one place. These include process design, machining, fabrication and assembly, cleaning, certification, and logistics.

Component testing and verification: With meticulous quality control and SPC, we record the history of each part and test to meet OEM specifications. This rigorous validation eliminates the need for OEM pre-production inspection and testing, plus ensures uninterrupted OEM manufacturing flow. OEMs can trust that all AFP parts and assemblies are 100% ready for their assembly line.

Global production platform: AFP has ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and FDA-certified facilities, resources, and expertise on each major continent that get the OEM’s instruments to market faster and more efficiently. Our global footprint offers redundancy to mitigate risk.

Collaborative cost reduction and project design: AFP adds value by partnering with OEM engineers to design for cost reduction and greater manufacturability. We strive to understand the OEM’s design intent and collaborate on the most cost-effective manufacturing and logistics strategies to reduce total cost.

Process flexibility: We guide the customer from prototype to final production and delivery — and offer the flexibility to engage our process at any point. We adapt to the customer’s business process and align to their performance metrics.

Going beyond manufacturing means producing the ultra-reliable  custom products that offer superior performance in the end-use customers’ challenging environments. From prototype to production, we can perform the engineering, quickly prototype the product, qualify the design, and ramp up production at multiple facilities.
