Kinematic’s Matrix Series

Kinematic’s Matrix Series of systems for the development and manufacture of Rapid Diagnostic Test Strips was developed in response to demand from the test strip industry for quality, low cost instruments. Utilizing concepts developed for higher end, high volume manufacturing systems, Kinematic engineers worked to provide simple, cost effective solutions to the many challenges of test strip developers and low to moderate volume manufacturers.

The result of Kinematic’s development campaign is a line of standard and semi-custom modules which are mostly compact bench-top units and which offer flexibility, rugged design, and user friendly operator interfaces. The key features of this MatrixTM family of standard products is described briefly below.

Strip Cutting:

High Volume Test Strip Manufacturing Systems from Kinematic Automation

For nearly 15 years Kinematic has been developing and building highly engineered manufacturing systems for the diagnostic test strip industry, including high volume slitting and packaging systems, reel-to-reel lamination machines, and automated device assembly systems. Typical projects often include:

Strip Slitting and Packaging ” Vials or Foil:
Automatic infeed of laminated reagent cards or webs
Precision registration and rotary slitting into individual strips
Machine vision inspection of strips
Collection of cut strips and transfer to vials or to foil web
Automatic feeding and presentation of vials
Automatic feeding and placement of caps onto filled vials
Conveyor delivery to downstream labeling and cartoning equipment

Strip Slitting / Device Assembly

The Matrix 8100TM Device Assembly Module
Uses many proven Kinematic technologies to provide a flexible solution for the assembly of lateral flow test strip devices. Through the incorporation of a precision, programmable card infeed drive and a flexible housing transport system, multiple products may now be assembled with minimal changeover time.
