Manufacturing
We manage the full, regulated production of your complex devices. Our global facilities offer end-to-end assembly, from circuit boards (PCBA) to final system integration, reinforced by integrated testing and adherence to global quality standards. This delivers predictable quality and reliable supply at scale.
Plexus provides full-system manufacturing for highly complex life science instruments in ISO 13485-certified facilities:
- End-to-End Manufacturing: We handle everything from high-complexity printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) to final system-level assembly (High-Level Assembly, HLA) and complete box-builds.
- Integrated Test and Inspection: We implement comprehensive, validated testing and inspection protocols throughout the assembly process—not just at the end—to guarantee the uncompromising performance and safety of every device.
- Fulfillment and Logistics: Beyond manufacturing, we manage secure storage, packaging, regulatory labeling, and the global distribution of your finished products, ensuring they reach end-users efficiently.
Technology readiness levels: A framework to help accelerate life science instrument development
Critically evaluating the commercial readiness or maturity of technology for a life sciences product can be challenging. Plexus has found great value in using the Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) framework to help scope life science instrument development projects, build alignment, identify risks and bring clarity to life sciences project management.

Smart engineering strategies to future proof your system development
Wednesday, February 18 at 16:00 GMT | 17:00 CET | 11:00 EST | 08:00 PST
Transforming a life sciences or MedTech concept into a scalable, production-ready product requires early alignment between science, engineering, regulatory strategy, manufacturing, and supply chain planning.
In this SelectScience® webinar, experts from Plexus discuss how engineering-led system development can help future-proof medical and life sciences products, from early assay development through to high-volume production. The session explores how early collaboration across R&D, quality, regulatory, product strategy, hardware, and software teams can reduce development risk, support long-term data capture, and improve readiness for commercial launch.
Attendees will learn how to anticipate the technical, regulatory, and manufacturing challenges that can determine whether a promising scientific breakthrough becomes a reliable, scalable, and commercially viable product.
