A continuous glucose monitoring system is a complex micro device. To produce its CGM systems, MLC uses its own cleanroom and high‑precision equipment, the brands of which are not disclosed, ensuring the company's competitive edge.
Why is it important?
1. Micron‑level precision and stable performance.
The width and thickness of the biosensor electrode are measured in tenths of a millimeter. Electrode processing requires micron‑level precision in laser cutting, and a deviation of just a few microns distorts the readings. Precision equipment ensures repeatability and stability of parameters from electrode to electrode.
2. Step‑by‑step membrane application.
During membrane application, precision equipment with machine vision is used, which helps control the accuracy of the production workflow at every step. The equipment has high precision not only in positioning, but also in applying the substance onto the electrode.
3. High throughput and scalability.
MLC aims large‑scale production of CGM devices, which is only possible on automated lines capable of ensuring economically viable output without loss of quality.
4. Guarantee of sealing and protection against external factors
A multi‑stage MLC encapsulation is applied to each sensor after assembly. Precision equipment provides robust sealing of all components, safeguarding against water, sweat, and physical impact throughout the entire storage and service life of the device.
Precision equipment underpins the reliability of MLC's CGM, guaranteeing that each sensor delivers accuracy and safety.
