Empowering point-of-care testing for rapid results
Health is personal and ever-present, whether we’re at home, abroad, or staying active in our daily lives. During the pandemic, global health took center stage, reshaping our lives. Now, in the digital era with telehealth, we’re revolutionizing healthcare delivery.
In the Hospital
Imagine if a doctor could rely on remote testing for exposure to infectious diseases or monitor various blood tests outside the clinic. Your provider could advise whether you should come to the hospital – without an initial hospital visit to find out.
At Home
Consider how much time people spend accessing health care – making and attending doctor appointments and checkups, getting tests, and waiting for results. Home care improves access to critical tests for patients, no matter how far they live from a clinic.
In the Field
One of the greatest implications of point-of-care testing is that we can bring care to people in all corners of the globe. In areas where health centers are harder to reach. We have an opportunity to mobilize health and level the playing field, ensuring health outcomes aren’t predicated on where you live.
Device designers can rely on our specialized products for point-of-care
When creating point-of-care diagnostics, devices engineers will need to prioritize patient safety and usability in variety of use locations to provide consistent and accurate results in the diagnosis and treatment of their patient's condition. The use of adhesives and films in the construction of the devices plays a critical role in delivering on the promise of enabling better, smarter, safer healthcare to improve lives.
Among the factors critical to the successful development of point-of-care diagnostics are:
Quality
Materials that perform consistently and conform to device specifications are important to design engineers. Materials whose performance changes either intentionally or unpredictably can impact device performance and lead to costly field actions to correct. Our quality management systems ensure we as a critical supplier are accurately measuring and maintaining material properties that are critical considerations for device designers. In selecting us as a partner for device development, you can benefit from our decades of experience and expertise in the medical device industry.
Performance
Materials used in IVD devices must provide effective bonding to ensure the device maintains functionality throughout the life of the product during assembly, storage, and use. Additionally, ever increasing requirements are being considered to minimize the impact to the environment by use of sustainable materials, and efficient use of material to minimize waste and volume of plastics. We’re uniquely empowered to provide cutting edge material science technology deployed to meet the needs of biomedical engineers in pursuit of novel device designs.
Biocompatibility
Our materials are designed and tested to avoid adverse reactions whether they come in contact with patients or biologic samples. In-vitro diagnostic devices materials must not interfere with either test assays or contaminate the test sample during the life of the product under conditions storage and use. Our clinical and laboratory experience with the design of medical devices is leveraged for the benefit of our partners who rely on MedTech OEM materials to perform in their own devices.
Achieve faster results with molecular diagnostics
Over recent years, molecular diagnostic testing has seen rapid growth in clinical laboratories, precision medicine, and infectious disease testing. Advances in testing continue to enhance accuracy and speed in disease and infection detection.

Lab research made more efficient
In medical research, a diverse array of formats and materials is used to secure and convey assay materials within laboratory and clinical settings. These materials include pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, plastic tubes, plates, and other labware. Their purpose is twofold: to prevent contamination and minimize loss of assay contents.
Assays, specialized tests used by scientists, play a crucial role in diagnosing diseases, infections, and global health threats. These tests allow precise measurement of specific components within our bodies, such as proteins, genes, or disease markers. The development of assays is pivotal for advancing medical research and enhancing molecular diagnostics. Assays find primary application in drug discovery labs, clinical research, and precision medicine.
