Key Advantages
1. Low Cost
Screen printing significantly reduces cost compared with sputtering, making it ideal for large-scale production.
2. Excellent Consistency
Screen printing achieves precise geometry and film-thickness control with high batch-to-batch consistency.
3. Mass Production Ready
Suited for roll-to-roll continuous production with high throughput, meeting the high-volume demands of the POCT industry.
Applications
- Single-Use Test Strips: core electrodes for home blood glucose, blood ketone, and uric acid test strips
- POCT Rapid Testing: rapid-test electrodes for bedside testing and emergency diagnostics in hospitals
- Environmental Monitoring: disposable sensors for water quality and food safety testing
