Diagnostic Consumables
Reaction Cup
Molded reaction cups for automated analysers, where the optical path runs through the wall and a thickness variation reads as a result error.

Process Guide
Clean Room Molding For Diagnostic Consumables
What an ISO 8 molding environment does and does not do for an analyser consumable, and where the real risks sit.
What ISO 8 Actually Controls
An ISO 8 clean room controls airborne particle count in the area where the part is formed and handled. For a diagnostic consumable that matters because a particle landing on a sealing face or an optical window is a defect you cannot inspect away later.
Molding And Packing Have To Match
The value of clean room molding evaporates the moment the part leaves the controlled area to be bagged. Our clean room parts are bagged inside the same area they are molded in, which is the only arrangement where the classification means anything at the receiving end.
Clean Is Not Sterile
Clean room molding reduces particle contamination. It does not sterilise. Any product requiring sterility needs a validated sterilisation step that happens after it leaves us, and that step belongs to your registered manufacturer.
Where Consumable Defects Really Come From
In practice most diagnostic consumable failures trace back to tooling and process rather than to airborne particles. Wall thickness variation, gate position and cooling layout decide whether an optical read is stable. The clean room protects a part that was already made correctly.

Questions On This Topic
Does clean room molding make a part sterile?
No. It controls particle contamination. Sterilisation is a separate validated process that does not happen at our site.
Do all our parts need clean room molding?
Not usually. Parts touching a sample, a drug or a patient benefit from it. Structural or external parts often do not, and we will say so rather than charge for it.
