New Point-of-Care Diagnostics Video from Nordson EFD Explains How Precise Fluid Dispensing Improves Production Accuracy

Video helps manufacturers understand the best way to assemble diagnostic readers and accurately dispense reagents onto test strips

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nordson EFD, a Nordson company (NASDAQ: NDSN) and leading precision fluid dispensing systems manufacturer, introduces a new animated video focused on point-of-care diagnostic dispensing applications within the life sciences industry.

In the medical field, a false diagnosis can mean life or death for a patient. That’s why Nordson EFD has developed reliable fluid dispensing solutions for assembling diagnostic devices and dispensing reagents onto test strips to provide the right data individuals and doctors can rely on to make informed decisions about health care.

Nordson EFD provides a wide range of fluid dispensing solutions to help manufacturers assemble diagnostic readers with greater reliability and less rejects and rework. These innovative solutions also accurately dispense fragile reagents onto test strips, ensuring reagents do not lose their content and properties after being dispensed and do not migrate to unwanted areas on the conjugate pads, which could otherwise lead to inaccurate results.

Here is a brief outline of how precision fluid dispensing solutions improve medical manufacturing process control:

• The UltimusPlus™ fluid dispenser works with a wide variety of fluids, which is helpful when working with challenging reagents and other sensitive materials.
• Our 797PCP progressive cavity pumps are the ideal solution for reagents that need to be frozen for transportation or later use.
• EFD’s PICO Pµlse XP jetting valve technology is especially beneficial to uniformly dispense reagents, which could react if there is overlap between deposits. This is also the perfect solution when dispensing UV-cure adhesives to bond parts of diagnostic readers together.
• The PROPlus automated dispensing system delivers industry-best speed and positional repeatability for critical deposit placement control.
