A leading global supplier of home-use PCR diagnostic devices turned to PLITEK® for a critical thermal management solution. The customer, who had recently received FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for their at-home diagnostic testing kits, was facing urgent production scale-up challenges. At the center of the issue was the need for a thermally conductive filler- specifically, a thermal gap pad- to ensure optimal performance and heat dissipation within the compact diagnostic device.
The original thermal gap pad material, however, was available only in limited sheet formats and at a cost exceeding the customer’s budget, creating a bottleneck in both availability and scalability. Recognizing the importance of both performance and supply chain reliability, PLITEK® engaged in a competitive bid process and delivered a comprehensive thermal interface management solution that helped the customer overcome these hurdles while also improving cost efficiency and production throughput.
PLITEK® is an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified global converting leader.
