Phase Three Product Development (P3PD) excels at microfluidic engineering development with a focus on diagnostic systems for both laboratory and at-home use. With extensive experience with instrumentation, single-use disposables, and lab-on-chip products, P3PD takes our customers concepts through the full product design cycle; from prototyping, to alpha builds, to scaled up commercial launches.As the Engineering Disposables Team Lead, I work closely with biologists, chemists, and instrumentation designers to deliver a product that executes our customers assays in an economical, repeatable, and user friendly manner. My expertise lies in sample fluid preparation with a focus on reagent storage and handling of microliter scale volumes, and extends to design validation, design-for-Manufacturing, and manufacturing scale up.
