A Small Cassette with
Big Impact

Reimagine what’s possible in diagnostic manufacturing

Ascential Medical and Life Sciences is developing a breakthrough thermoformed test strip cassette that dramatically reduces cost, waste, and time to market—without compromising precision or performance.

Our new cassette concept is engineered to disrupt traditional assumptions about diagnostic cartridge design. By moving from injection molding to thermoforming, we've unlocked several downstream benefits.

Key Benefits

Up to 84% less plastic
vs. traditional injection molded cassettes

75% reduction
in material costs

Lighter, thinner, smarter design
for dramatically lower shipping, storage, and packaging costs

Compatible with semi- or fully automated
assembly systems for faster scale-up

Environmentally responsible
with reduced waste and material usage

Engineered for Automation

Whether you're launching a new product or scaling up an existing one, our thermoformed cassette pairs seamlessly with:

  • Strip cut & place systems >80 ppm
  • Precision lamination tools >70 ppm
  • Servo-based punch singulation >85 ppm
  • Benchtop, semi-automated, or fully automated lines

More Throughput. Less Overhead.

With projected production speeds of 180–240 ppm with just one operator, the shift to thermoformed cassettes unlocks cost-effective scaling at every stage of growth.
Let’s talk about how to cut cost—not corners.
