CellASIC Opens Microfluidics Production Facility

The CellASIC team is happy to announce the opening of its new Class 100 cleanroom in San Leandro, California. This facility will enable the company to improve the manufacturing capability of its microfluidic products. Since 2005, the company has been working on developing a novel production method for cell culture based microfluidic products.

"This facility allows us to integrate our proprietary manufacturing process into a state-of-the-art controlled environment," states Dr. Paul Hung, CTO of CellASIC. "This will directly result in higher yield and faster turnaround time in product manufacturing. The controlled environment also guarantees product reliability and robustness, permitting CellASIC to continue bringing the highest quality microfluidic tools to our customers."

The completion of the customized cleanroom represents a critical step towards the company's mission to develop and commercialize innovative microfluidic products for cell and tissue based applications. Funding for the facility was provided with help from a National Institutes of Health SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) grant to promote"Manufacturing Processes of Medical, Dental, and Biological Technologies."
