IVD & Life Science Consumables

End-To-End Development & Manufacturing

Molding Precision, Shaping Standards

As a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), Quaero Life Science is dedicated to engineering and consistently producing high-quality, precision-molded consumables for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) and other life science applications. Our commitment extends across every stage of development and production, from material selection and mold design to automated manufacturing and product inspection.

We specialize in high-precision, multi-cavity mold design and manufacturing, helping customers produce consumables that meet demanding dimensional and functional requirements. By combining engineering expertise with materials research and production automation, we support consistent quality as projects move from development to commercial production.

A Team You Can Trust

Quaero’s team brings together expertise in materials, precision molding, and product development to support demanding life science applications, including molecular diagnostics, sample preparation, flow cytometry, immunoassay, clinical chemistry, and immunohistochemistry (IHC). We work closely with customers to understand how each consumable needs to perform, translating those requirements into material choices, product designs, and manufacturing processes that support reliable performance.

ISO 13485 Certified

Our ISO 13485-certified quality management system guides how we develop and manufacture life science consumables and medical device components. From incoming material inspection and process validation to in-process checks and final inspection, we build quality controls into each stage of production. This structured approach supports consistent product quality and helps us meet customer specifications and applicable regulatory requirements.

Flexible Manufacturing Options

Whether you have existing tooling or need a new mold developed, we can help you find a production approach that fits your requirements. Our consumables manufacturing capabilities include:

Regional support teams can work directly with you to assess tooling, materials, and production requirements, supporting consistent quality as your manufacturing needs grow.

Expertise In Plastics

We help customers select and process materials to meet the functional, optical, and manufacturing requirements of their products. Our experience includes:

Quaero’s in-house materials research and testing capabilities help evaluate properties such as optical clarity, surface wettability, and nonspecific adsorption. We combine this knowledge with mold design and process development to support consistent performance in the intended application.

Looking to develop a new consumable, improve product performance, reduce costs, or expand production capacity? Our team is ready to help.

Let’s Connect

Precision Tooling And Manufacturing Across Our Global Network

Our mold development capabilities combine design for manufacturing, mold flow analysis, high-precision machining, and advanced polishing to support demanding life science applications. Our team in China develops multi-cavity tooling through close coordination between design, machining, and molding, refining molds through trials and preparing them for production.

Our fully operational, ISO 13485-certified U.S. facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts, provides prototype and mold development, precision injection molding, assembly, and quality control. Our consumables manufacturing facilities include ISO Class 7 and Class 8 cleanrooms, with environmental monitoring to help control contamination during production.

Together, these capabilities connect global engineering expertise with regional manufacturing, helping customers move from development to commercial production with support aligned with their product, quality, and supply requirements.

Connect with your local Quaero team to explore how our decades of engineering expertise and global manufacturing capabilities can support your next project.

High-Precision Tooling For Consistent Production

Each mold cavity plays a role in how a consumable fits, functions, and performs. We combine high-precision machining, advanced polishing, and dimensional inspection to develop multi-cavity molds that meet demanding life science requirements.

Through mold trials and process refinement, we help minimize variation between cavities and support consistent production at scale. Our tooling and manufacturing teams work together to address challenges early, helping customers move from mold development to reliable commercial production.

 

Automated Assembly, Inspection And Packaging

Our in-house automation capabilities bring together product handling, assembly, inspection, and packaging to support efficient, consistent consumables manufacturing. By reducing manual handling and integrating checks throughout production, we help minimize contamination risks and identify defects early.
From tip and filter assembly to leak testing, labeling, and packaging, we develop automation around each product’s requirements. This integrated approach helps customers scale production while maintaining the quality and performance their life science applications demand

Partnership At Every Stage

Whether you’re developing a new consumable, refining an existing product, or expanding production, we provide support tailored to your goals and stage of development

Custom Branding And Packaging

Bring your consumables to market under your own brand with custom labeling and packaging. We work with your team to align product presentation, packaging design, and labeling with your specifications, supporting a consistent brand identity from production through delivery.

Direct Access To Our Team

Work directly with our commercial and technical teams to discuss requirements, review progress, and resolve challenges. We maintain clear communication throughout development and production, helping you make informed decisions as your project advances and your needs evolve.

Flexible Manufacturing Options

Our manufacturing presence in the United States, China, and Japan gives customers options as production and supply needs evolve. We work with your team to assess the right manufacturing location and approach based on product requirements, production volumes, and target markets.

Your next project deserves a partner who understands both your product and your production goals. We can help you refine designs, optimize manufacturing, and scale production. Let’s discuss how we can support your next step.
