A Wallingford manufacturer has acquired a Canadian company, Hexano Corp, that produces microfluidic cartridges, which allow microscopic samples of substances to be mixed together as part of scientific research.
CPS Fluidics, which designs, develops and manufactures a range of custom fluidic products, has integrated Hexano into its company, the companies said in an announcement Tuesday.
CPS Fluidics is headquartered at 50 Barnes Park Road in Wallingford.
CPS Fluidics has hired the founder of Hexano, Andre Babineau, a mechanical engineer who worked in plastic injection molding and plastic microfluidics design, to work as its vice president of sales.
“One of my main drivers to join the CPS Fluidics team is the ability to offer a more tailored and engineered solution for microfluidics,” Babineau said. “Being able to give design inputs earlier in the cycle will guarantee a better manufacturable product at commercial scale.”
CPS Fluidics, a B2B contract manufacturer focused on the life sciences sector, said it plans to increase its domestic and international sales of microfluidic and flow cell manufacturing services.
