Your Partner for High Performance Microfluidic Cartridge Development

Wainamics provides life science and diagnostics companies with proven expertise in microfluidic product development.

Benefits of Working with Us

Faster Time to Milestones

Leveraging our broad experience in product development and deep expertise in microfluidic design, from valving, pumping, mixing, capture and elution, in combination with proven development process, we accelerate your product development.

Smart Design by Creating Efficient and Innovative Solutions

We use our expertise in materials, surfaces, and assay integration to create the simplest and most reliable consumable cartridge designs that meet bioassay performance requirements.

Meet Target Cost of Goods

Through early manufacturing strategic planning along with design for manufacturing and assembly, we ensure all of our prototypes can be scaled up for high volume manufacturing, meeting cost requirements.

Seamless System Integration

By utilizing our custom fluidic controller and software for integrated testing, we compare bench-top bioassay baselines to assay performance on cartridges, optimizing cartridge design, fluidic protocol, surfaces, processes, and instrument parameters to enhance overall system performance.

Decrease Project Risks

Through system architecture definition, rapid prototyping, and expert benchtop assay-to-cartridge integration, we address technical and program risks early in the development lifecycle, ensuring a smoother and more efficient process.

We collaborate with you at any stage of the development lifecycle — from concept to manufacturing transfer.

Case Studies

Our detailed case studies showcase how we solve complex microfluidic challenges, from innovative cartridge designs to assay integration, highlighting successful collaborations that accelerate product development and improve performance across life sciences and diagnostics applications.
