Cartridge & consumable
Our consumables team designs cartridges, single-use components, and disposables for diagnostics, cell therapy, and sample-prep workflows. We design for function and for manufacturability at scale, working alongside fluidics, optics, and DFM partners so the same cartridge that performs at the bench performs at million-unit production.
Our Approach
Consumables are the unsung product of life-sciences instruments. They ship in the millions, get tossed in seconds, and have to perform identically every time. We design cartridges, single-use components, and disposables for function, manufacturability, and cost, in tight collaboration with fluidics, optics, and motion teams who depend on them.
A consumable design decision is a design decision twice: once at engineering, once at COGS. Adding a feature that costs ten cents at the prototype shows up forever in the unit economics of the product. We make those tradeoffs visible while they’re still cheap to change.
