Scale diagnostics consumables with precision that holds at volume

Reagent packaging, cartridge assembly, and controlled-environment manufacturing built for IVD and POC diagnostics — from pilot to millions of units.

Diagnostics consumables demand manufacturing precision that general contract manufacturers can't deliver. Reagent stability, fill accuracy, and cartridge assembly tolerances all break down when you scale with a partner who doesn't understand IVD-specific requirements.

The Diagnostics Scaling Challenge

Scale reliability

What works at 10,000 units breaks at 10 million. Fill accuracy, reagent stability, and yield rates all degrade without purpose-built manufacturing infrastructure.

Reagent stability

Formulation-sensitive reagents demand controlled environments, precision dispensing, and validated packaging — conditions most general CMOs can't provide.

Transfer-to-manufacturing gaps

Moving from R&D to production exposes DFM issues. Cartridge geometries, fill volumes, and seal parameters all need re-optimization for manufacturing scale.

Supply continuity risk

Single-source manufacturing for diagnostics consumables is a regulatory and business risk. You need geographic redundancy and capacity headroom.

Built for Diagnostics — Not Adapted from Medical Devices

In January 2023, LSO acquired J-Pac Medical — bringing purpose-built diagnostics manufacturing capabilities into the LSO platform. This wasn't a bolt-on. J-Pac's precision reagent packaging, microfluidic cartridge assembly, and diagnostics-specific DFM expertise now operate under LSO's FDA-registered, ISO 13485 certified quality system — with the added benefit of multi-site capacity and full packaging and sterilization integration.

The result: diagnostics-specific manufacturing depth backed by the infrastructure of a 25-year regulated manufacturer.

Diagnostics Manufacturing Capabilities

Purpose-built for IVD and POC consumables — not adapted from general medical device manufacturing.

Precision Reagent Packaging

Controlled-environment dispensing with fill accuracy validated for your specific reagent chemistry. From pouches to blister packs to custom formats.

Microfluidic Cartridge Assembly

Cleanroom assembly for microfluidic and lateral flow devices requiring sub-millimeter precision and contamination-free environments.

Diagnostics-Specific DFM

Design-for-manufacturing review optimized for IVD and POC consumables — addressing fill volumes, seal parameters, cartridge geometry, and stability.

Controlled-Environment Manufacturing

Class 5–8 cleanrooms with temperature and humidity controls matched to reagent sensitivity requirements.

Scalable Production

From pilot runs (thousands) to commercial volume (millions) with validated processes that maintain fill accuracy and yield at every scale point.

Packaging & Sterilization

ISO 11607 packaging validation and sterilization management integrated with your assembly line — no inter-vendor handoffs.

Frequently Asked Questions

LSO provides reagent packaging and manufacturing services — precision dispensing, blister packaging, pouch filling, and controlled-environment handling. We do not formulate reagents. You provide the formulated reagent; we handle the filling, packaging, and assembly into your final consumable format. Our controlled environments (temperature, humidity, cleanroom class) are designed to maintain reagent stability throughout the packaging process.

Fill accuracy depends on your reagent chemistry and format, but our validated dispensing systems are designed to maintain tight tolerances from pilot through commercial volume. During process development, we establish fill parameters specific to your reagent — viscosity, volume, dispensing method — and validate them through IQ/OQ/PQ. The key differentiator is that accuracy doesn't degrade as volume scales, because the validated process parameters are locked in.

Reagent stability starts with environment control. Our cleanrooms maintain precise temperature and humidity levels matched to your reagent's sensitivity requirements. Packaging processes are designed to minimize reagent exposure time outside controlled conditions. We support nitrogen blanketing, desiccant insertion, and moisture barrier packaging where required. Stability testing protocols can be integrated with your accelerated aging program.

Yes. Our diagnostics manufacturing capabilities cover the full range — from IVD consumables (reagent cartridges, blister packs, multi-well plates) to POC devices (lateral flow cassettes, microfluidic cartridges, rapid test kits). The manufacturing infrastructure is the same: precision dispensing, controlled-environment assembly, validated packaging. The process parameters are customized to each device type during development.

Transfer-to-manufacturing is where most diagnostics programs hit friction. LSO's approach starts with a DFM (design for manufacturability) review of your device — identifying issues with fill volumes, seal parameters, cartridge geometry, and material compatibility before they become production problems. We then develop and validate the manufacturing process through a structured pilot phase, scaling incrementally with full QC at each stage.

We provide the manufacturing-side documentation required for your submission — process validation reports, device history records, packaging validation data, and sterilization documentation. For IVD devices under FDA 510(k) or De Novo pathways, our documentation packages are formatted to support the manufacturing sections of your submission. We work alongside your regulatory team or consultant to ensure completeness.
