Printing - CT prints using large-format, screen-printing presses, both hand-feed
and automated, that accept sheeted materials. Substrates are registered using edge
alignment. Automated presses use optical detection for registration. Inks can be cured
either by UV or heat.

Reagent Deposition - Reagent can be applied using several techniques including microdeposition
from a positive-displacement pump or printing. Environmentally-controlled rooms for applications that
require high or low humidity are available. Reagents are cured in low-temperature ovens. |

Assembly - CT has experience in laminating plastic materials using
pressure-sensitive and heat-sealable adhesives. Adhesives can be applied as
sheet goods or they can be printed depending on the application. Embossing or
die cutting to form structures is also available. Cutting can be performed using
lasers, optically-aligned presses, non-assisted punch presses, and slitting. |

|
Packaging - CT can work with its customers to develop and implement
packaging solutions. Final excision of sensors from cards or coupons can be
accomplished using laser cutting, die cutting or slitting. Finished sensors are
typically packaged in bottle formats. For applications where cards or large
sensors are to be supplied, vacuum-seal packaging is available.
