In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD)

Leak-free, low-carryover fluidic assemblies built for precision, uptime, and fully validated performance—where every result matters.

AFP’s application of advanced design and manufacturing methods enable In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) 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.

Precision That Drives Clinical Confidence

In In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD), every result carries consequence. Sensitivity, accuracy, and repeatability are not just performance metrics—they define patient outcomes. AFP delivers precision-engineered fluidic assemblies designed to provide stable, consistent performance across the most demanding diagnostic platforms. By combining advanced manufacturing with deep application understanding, AFP enables systems that achieve higher sensitivity, greater accuracy, and dependable repeatability.

Driving In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) 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 In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) 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.
