Microfluidic Chip & Device Manufacturing
ISO 13485-certified manufacturing partner for polymer microfluidic devices and chips — from design support and prototyping to precision tooling, molding, bonding, assembly and serial production.
From Prototype to Production
Turning a microfluidic concept into a repeatable production process requires more than manufacturing a mold.
Micromolds supports microfluidic device development throughout the complete manufacturing journey — from design review and prototyping to precision tooling, process development, molding, bonding, assembly and quality control.
Whether you are validating an early-stage design or preparing an established microfluidic device for serial production, our engineers help develop a manufacturing process built around your geometry, material, performance requirements and expected production volumes.
Your Microfluidic Challenge Isn't Standard. Neither Are We.
Complex channels, tight tolerances or a design that has been difficult to manufacture?
Send us your drawings, CAD files or project requirements. Our engineers will review your application and help identify a practical path toward production.
Our Microfluidic Manufacturing Process
We support microfluidic projects from early design evaluation through repeatable serial manufacturing. The manufacturing route is adapted to the geometry, material, tolerances and production requirements of each device.
Injection Molding for Microfluidic Devices
Injection molding can provide a scalable manufacturing route for microfluidic devices that require repeatable microfeatures, dimensional consistency and increasing production volumes.
With the right combination of part design, tooling, material selection and process control, complex polymer microfluidic components can be replicated consistently across production batches.
Micromolds combines in-house precision tooling with micro injection molding expertise, allowing tooling and molding parameters to be developed together rather than treated as separate manufacturing steps.

Precision Manufacturing for Complex Microfluidic Devices
Microfluidic components often combine microscopic features with demanding dimensional, optical and surface requirements. Our manufacturing processes are developed around repeatability and control of these critical features
✓ ISO 13485-Certified Quality System
Manufacturing supported by an ISO 13485-certified quality management system for medical and other demanding applications.
✓ ISO Class 8 Cleanroom Manufacturing
Controlled production environment for contamination-sensitive components.
✓ Injection Molding Expertise
Enables ultra-thin walls, precise microfeatures and superior surface replication.
Cleanroom Manufacturing for Microfluidic Devices
For microfluidic, diagnostic and medical applications where contamination control is critical, Micromolds provides controlled manufacturing capabilities for sensitive polymer components and devices.
Cleanroom-compatible production can be integrated with molding, handling, bonding, assembly and packaging requirements depending on the needs of the project.
Our team can evaluate cleanliness requirements during the project planning stage and develop an appropriate manufacturing workflow around your application.
Materials for Microfluidic Device Manufacturing
Material selection can directly influence optical performance, chemical compatibility, dimensional stability, bonding and manufacturability.
We work with engineering and optical-grade thermoplastics commonly used for microfluidic device manufacturing, including:
COC & COP
Suitable for applications requiring high optical clarity, low autofluorescence and strong performance in diagnostic and analytical devices.
PMMA
A transparent polymer frequently selected for optical microfluidic applications and prototyping.
Polycarbonate (PC)
Provides transparency together with mechanical strength and impact resistance.
Polystyrene (PS)
Commonly used for diagnostic, laboratory and life-science consumables.
Polypropylene (PP)
Suitable for applications requiring chemical resistance and low density.
Other engineering polymers can be evaluated based on device requirements, geometry and production process.
