Rapid Response, Rapid Results
During
a meeting with engineers from an IVD company, it was casually mentioned that
it would be “nice-to-have” a product that improved the bond between
the very small stock tubing they were using and a microchip. Our fluidic engineers
took the “casual mention” to the drawing board and developed a
new thermal tipping procedure for the outer diameter of the 1/32" OD tube
that met the customers’ needs perfectly — the result - the customer
now purchases 2,000 tipped tubes per month.
