Welcome to our Advanced Manufacturing, Electronics, and Medical Device Prototyping Laboratories. We offer specialised equipment for designing, prototyping, and testing electronic and medical devices, including PCB manufacture, microfluidic production, and laser micromanufacturing. Our labs also support medical device validation with tools like oscilloscopes and climate chambers. For cardiovascular research, we provide systems for circulatory models and assistive devices, along with surgical robots, endoscopes, and imaging technologies for developing surgical procedures.
Electronics and Prototyping
Our cutting-edge laboratories are equipped with specialised equipment for the design, prototyping, and testing of electronic components and their encapsulation and packaging. This includes facilities for laser micromanufacturing including welding and patterning, flip-chip bonding, and ASIC design and testing. Our general dry electronics area supports PCB manufacture and soldering, ensuring comprehensive development capabilities for various electronic devices. We also have facilities for manufacturing microfluidics including an automated heated press for moulding and bonding plastic microfluidic devices.
Characterisation and Validation
We offer an extensive range of tools for the characterisation and validation of medical devices. This includes specialised oscilloscopes, climate chamber testing, hermeticity testing, mini lathes, and various microscopes, laser profilometry, and manufacturing tools. Our clean room provides a controlled environment essential for the development of sensitive components and for medical implant assembly.
