Frequently Asked Questions

General

We typically deliver a custom set to you in less than 2 weeks if the materials are in stock.

The fastest way to find out is to receive samples and test them out. Since every assay is different, we design custom solutions for each project that we are approached with for a broad range of applications. We encourage you to get in touch with us so that we can tailor a solution for your application.

Technical

We can select materials for your application to ensure that chemical compatibility is maintained.

Yes. Custom devices have been designed for blood, saliva, urine and other fluids. Our separators remove undesirable materials such as cells, bubbles, and even viscous components from biological specimens.

Yes. We would need to know the size of your analyte of interest and we can customize a solution for you.

Our manufacturing facilities are located in California.

Purchasing

We can ship internationally if you are able to supply a FedEx account to charge shipment. 

Yes, we want to enable you to make your devices internally. We supply guidance and technical support to get you up and running.
