Manufacturing Processes

Array Manufacturing Processes

AMI’s business includes a wide range of custom capabilities to manufacture multiple unique formats of Point-of-Care devices, as well as standard processes for the production of arrays on glass slides and plates.
Each process has standard QC methods, and particular sampling plans or additional QC methods are implemented as required by customers.
