CUSTOM LABELS, BOXES, AND INSERTS

Packaging that protects and presents your kit

Your kit’s packaging is the first thing anyone sees in the lab, and it keeps every component intact through shipping and storage. We can design custom labels, boxes, and inserts to your specifications, from product labels that make an impression to branded outer cartons to precision die-cut inserts that hold each component secure, so your kit arrives ready to perform.

YOUR LOGISTICS PARTNER

Fulfillment and warehousing built into your program

Keep your supply chain simple by letting the team that makes your kit handle storage, inventory, and distribution, all through one supplier, one PO, and one shipping origin. Depending on your program, we can:

  • Store finished kits, raw materials, and customer-supplied components, with cold chain where required
  • Ship direct to your customers, partners, your own labs, or multiple sites, with temperature-monitored shipping
  • Hold consignment inventory and release it on schedule to meet your demand forecasts
  • Manage reorder points and support your inventory forecasting
  • Assemble and pack kits for shipment on demand, following custom packing SOPs written to your specifications
  • Reserve a single lot and release it as you need it, so every kit in your program stays consistent
  • Document every lot with full traceability through our eQMS, part of our ISO 13485 certified QMS

We make our own kits too

Built the way we build ours

Our AAV•Tek™ PCR Sample Prep Kit is one example. It pairs DNase I and its reaction buffer in tubes with a dilution buffer prefilled into 96-well plates. Every lot is tested for DNase, RNase, and protease activity and PCR performance, and the full set ships labeled and packaged as one kit. Yours gets the same care, from formulation to final packaging.

Common questions about OEM kitting

Do you have a question that's not covered here? Get in touch with our team and we're happy to help.

We manufacture and assemble kits for life sciences tools and diagnostics customers across molecular diagnostics, next-generation sequencing, PCR, spatial genomics, liquid biopsy, and more. We can manufacture the buffers and media for your kit, source specialized components from trusted vendors, and integrate customer-supplied materials into the final assembly.

Minimums depend on your kit’s components, formats, and grade. When we quote your kit, we’ll walk you through the minimum batch size for each reagent and how it fits your kit volumes.

Turnaround time depends on the complexity of your requirements, but our modular manufacturing platform and bracketed validation approach allow custom orders to move into production within weeks. Express•Tek℠ Production is available to help meet expedited timelines. See our standard turnaround times.

As a contract reagent manufacturer, we recognize the significant investment in research and development that goes into your prototypes. All engagements begin with a mutual non-disclosure agreement, and proprietary formulations, protocols, and specifications are controlled within our eQMS, which is part of our ISO 13485 QMS.

Yes. We can source raw materials from your preferred vendors, incorporate customer-supplied materials into manufacturing, and test them against your specifications. We can also facilitate alternate sourcing if a supplier issue arises during your program.

Our quality management system is certified to ISO 13485:2016 and covers document control, non-conformance and deviation management, corrective and preventive actions, raw material testing, in-process and finished goods testing, out-of-specification management, and internal audits. Our eQMS is MasterControl.

Yes. Our RUO+ grade is manufactured in the same facilities and on the same equipment as our GMP-grade products, giving you comparable quality without the added documentation and testing requirements that GMP demands. It’s an efficient, cost-effective way to move your assay from development to clinical trial assays and commercial IVD kits, and we support your diagnostic pipeline under one roof, from early discovery through commercial-scale GMP manufacturing. Learn more about our manufacturing grades.

Yes. We design and run accelerated and real-time stability programs to assign or extend shelf life for custom reagents, including stability studies for reagents not manufactured by us. Studies can cover pH, conductivity, density, osmolality, sterility, RNase and DNase, PCR performance, endotoxin, concentration, and application-specific activity. Learn more about our stability study options and pricing.

We dispense from microliter volumes in 96-well plates through liters in single-use bags up to 200 L. Standard formats include tubes, bottles, vials, and cryovials. For customers who need a container that integrates with a specific instrument or workflow, we can source or engineer custom solutions.

Yes. Custom branding, private-label packaging, and labels are all available if required. Labels, COAs, and batch records can also be customized to meet your specifications and regulatory requirements.

Yes. Our fulfillment and warehousing service covers dedicated storage for finished kits, raw materials, and customer-supplied components, with cold chain where required. We can operate consignment inventory, manage reorder points against your forecast, and ship direct-to-customer, direct-to-partner, or across your own sites with temperature-monitored shipping. This lets you consolidate a single large lot into predictable, on-demand supply from one supplier.

A short project brief is enough to begin: the reagents or components in your kit, the format and fill volumes you need, target grade (RUO, RUO+, or GMP), estimated annual volumes, and any specific documentation or QC requirements. Our technical team will review and follow up with specific questions to finalize your quote. Submit your request here to get started.

Our standard process includes a comprehensive suite of quality control assays that we perform on our raw materials and finished products. We maintain retention samples for the lifespan of each product so we can test its integrity at any time, and we can also perform custom QC testing or stability testing as required.
