Biotech instruments demand components that meet extreme specifications. They require exceptional dimensional accuracy, often within microns, to ensure perfect sealing, alignment, and motion in microfluidic channels and optical systems. The materials used must be biocompatible, corrosionresistant, and capable of withstanding repeated sterilization cycles. Common materials include 316L stainless steel for its superior corrosion resistance, aluminum for lightweight structural frames, and advanced engineering plastics like PEEK and Ultem for their excellent chemical stability and insulating properties. Any imperfection in a component can lead to instrument failure, crosscontamination, or inaccurate results, directly impacting research, diagnostics, and patient care.

Our company provides a comprehensive, onestop CNC machining service tailored specifically to the rigorous needs of the biotech industry. We leverage stateoftheart 3, 4, and 5axis CNC mills and lathes to produce complex, hightolerance parts with the repeatability required for both prototyping and production volumes. Our expertise extends to machining the challenging materials prevalent in biotech, ensuring clean, burrfree finishes that prevent fluid trapping and bacterial growth. Furthermore, we offer a full suite of secondary operations, including passivation for stainless steel to enhance corrosion resistance, and precision cleaning and anodizing for aluminum components.

By partnering with us, biotech instrumentation companies accelerate their timetomarket. We facilitate rapid prototyping, allowing for iterative design validation, and seamlessly scale to full production with consistent, certified quality. Our commitment is to become an extension of your engineering team, delivering the flawless, reliable components that form the foundation of the world's most advanced biotech tools. Trust us to machine the precision that powers your innovation.
