As a global technology leader, Adhesives Research provides solutions to critical healthcare segments, including Diagnostic Devices. AR’s portfolio of pressure sensitive tapes and heat seals is designed for a broad range of Lateral Flow Immunoassay, Microplate, and Microfluidic Device applications including cover, spacer, transfer, and hydrophilic tapes. Our chemists and engineers are passionate about developing innovation-rich products that help our customers overcome challenging applications in meeting the demands of an ever-evolving Diagnostic Device market.

Developing accurate and reliable in vitro diagnostics requires adhesive solutions that perform flawlessly without interfering with sensitive assays. Our expertise goes beyond providing standard tapes and heat seals; we engineer materials with critical properties essential for diagnostic device manufacturing. This includes ensuring ultra-low extractables and chemical inertness to prevent contamination and false results in lateral flow assays, microfluidic devices, and microplate applications.

Precision is paramount in diagnostic adhesives. Our capabilities include high-tolerance die-cutting of medical tapes to create intricate patterns for microfluidic channels and precise seals for wells, enabling controlled fluid dynamics and sample containment. We understand the diverse substrates used in diagnostic platforms and formulate adhesives for reliable bonding to plastics, films, and membranes, compatible with high-throughput automated assembly. Partner with Adhesives Research for biocompatible diagnostic adhesives and precision diagnostic tapes that ensure the integrity, accuracy, and reliability of your diagnostic devices, from rapid point-of-care tests to complex laboratory assays.
