As diagnostic tests move closer to the point-of-care, reagent storage and delivery methods become a challenge. J-Pac Medical’s lab-on-a-chip reagent blisters allow reagents to be stored directly on the microfluidic cartridge, enabling the smaller footprint required by point-of-care diagnostic tests.
J-Pac Medical offers Diagnostic Reagent sample kits to give your company the ability to evaluate, test, and improve your product before you go into full production. You can choose water-filled kits (to test form and function while saving the cost of using your reagents), or you can supply the reagent fluid for realistic prototype testing. Order in quantities as low as 25.

It can take nearly a year to get a validated sterile package to market, and many medical device manufacturers fail to plan for this time and expense. While regulations govern package design and validation, manufacturers must also coordinate compliance with additional regulations for manufacturing, sterilization, and shelf-life validation to reduce lead time, improve quality and reduce costs. Here’s an explanation of how to coordinate these validation requirements to get single-use medical devices to market faster and less expensively.

Packaging and sterilization are critical stages of medical device manufacturing—lives are on the line if sterilization is compromised through packaging or sterilization failures. Both sterilization and packaging markets remain mature, relying on standard, accepted materials and methods. The most prevalent materials are legacy materials such as Tyvek and nylon. Large-scale sterilization depends on the well-established ethylene oxide (EO) and gamma radiation processes. FDA and ISO standards continue to become more stringent, especially regarding quality. OEMs focus on how to abide by these standards, which can seem open to interpretation. Everyone is pressured to reduce costs.

J-Pac Medical, a leading manufacturing and packaging outsourcing partner, has added unique 3D printing capability to assist medical device and diagnostic companies further. This manufacturing technology enables J-Pac to produce end-use strong, functional prototypes of medical device components within hours.
Using a unique technology, J-Pac produces functional components 1.4 times stronger than acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as well as components that can replicate machined aluminum. The technology also allows J-Pac to supplement its in-house machine shop with quick-turn tooling capabilities.
“The manufacturing costs to produce end-use quality medical device plastic prototypes can be very high and involve long lead-times. Traditional 3D printing can be helpful to evaluate a part’s look and fit but lack the strength to properly evaluate functionality. J-Pac’s 3D printing services go beyond these limitations by producing extremely strong prototypes that can be used to evaluate the rigors that the final part would experience,” said Jeff Barrett, CEO of J-Pac Medical.
