Trustworthy partner from the beginning of the design to the manufacturing of the final product
Erreka engineering team works in close collaboration with customer team, to optimize the design for injection and mass production of customized medical components with cutting edge technology methods and equipment.
Medical / Point of Care
The point of care points are increasing rapidly and also are in need of instruments and consumables for them. The advantage of rapid, specific and cost effective tests are clear and everyday new diagnostic tests are designed. For the optimization of reagent and sample usage, these IVD test components are based in microfluidic devices with micrometric channels and filters, having usually very strict dimensional and optical characteristics.
Veterinary Medicine – diagnosis
As diagnostics test are increasing in humans, it is also a reality in veterinary market. More and more complex and strict test are used, for keeping optimized livestock exploitations.
Advanced Optics
In medical IVD tests due to highly extended usage of cameras for tests analysis as well as in other fields of light diffusion or guiding systems, transparent polymer components are more commonly used instead of glass components. Different polymers can be used for that purpose such as COC COP, PC, PMMA… but a good process control and a perfect master manufacturing and replica process are a key to achieving low stress and good optical characteristic parts.
Drug delivery
The field of medicine disposal to the people is changing rapidly, more accurate and easy to use systems are developed everyday and the use of specific polymer components is increasing with these innovative elements such as microneedle patches, or the use of special blisters or dosing systems.
Cell Culture
The field of cell culture and assisted reproduction are developing at high speed using components that help improve success rates, through the use of microfluidic components for it. Extremely high repeatability of the components and the usage of needed biocompatible polymer is important for that purpose.
