About FlexMedical Solutions
FlexMedical Solutions is a specialized contract company for design, development, and manufacturing focusing on In-Vitro Diagnostics (IVD). The company supports customers from the concept phase to the commercialization of Point-of-Care Diagnostics and Wearables. The portfolio includes the design of biosensors and microfluidic test cartridges, product and process development, assay development (Immunoassays, Electrochemistry, Fluorescence, Chemiluminescence), surface functionalization, and reagent formulation, along with regulatory support according to ISO 13485. In its own manufacturing facility in Livingston, Central Scotland, test strips and cartridges are produced using, among other methods, high-precision screen printing systems and ablation lasers for electrode production from gold and carbon, as well as reagent dispensing systems and pick-and-place machines for complete biosensor production. The product range includes test cartridges and wearable sensors for the detection and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and other medical conditions. The facility is located about 20 minutes from Edinburgh Airport and serves Scotland, the United Kingdom, and beyond.
