ISO 13485 Injection Molding for Microfluidic Diagnostics applications
Optimold offers precision injection molding for microfluidic diagnostics, with ISO 13485 certification and 15+ years of experience. In partnership with Micro Systems, we deliver ultra-precise replication of microfluidic features—down to 0.5 microns—using advanced polymers like PC, COC, and COP. Work with us to reduce development time while ensuring consistent, high-quality performance in microfluidic chips—fully optimized for reliable high-volume production.
Precision Molding for Microfluidic Diagnostics Breakthroughs
Optimold is one of the few industry leaders capable of high-volume injection molding of complex microfluidic diagnostics components—up to one million units—with feature sizes below 10μm and repeatability within 0.5μm. This precision is critical for capillary-driven functions like cell selection, droplet mixing, and generation.
In collaboration with our mold tooling partner, Micro Systems, we achieve micron-level flatness and ultra-fine features. Their Integrated Optics technology enables optical surfaces with sub-10nm Ra finishes, directly within the microfluidic chip—ensuring continuous capillary flow and 100% chamber filling.

Integrated optical faces
Integrated optical interfaces are critical in microfluidics, as the absence of seamless optical integration can disrupt the flow of blood or cell-containing fluids, potentially compromising the accuracy of test results. Our capabilities in Mold Design and injection molding enable the continuous capillary flow required to guarantee 100% filling of inspection chambers prior to optical laser detection using Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR) to detect the presence of magnetic nanoparticles. Further extensive research of tool insert materials, processes and molding techniques allow our Integrated Optics, traditionally machined in Nicke inserts, to be machined in hardened stainless steel (50Rc) to support high volume component molding requirements.
