Microsaic Systems plc, the developer of chip-based scientific instruments, has entered into an agreement with Plexus.

Under the agreement Plexus will provide manufacturing solutions so that Microsaic’s ability to scale up output rapidly is significantly improved.

Colin Jump, chief executive of Microsaic Systems, added, “Outsourcing the manufacture of the 4000 MiD® has been a key strategic aim and we have made considerable investment over the last year to ensure that we are in a position to hand this over to our chosen partner in preparation for production scale up.

“Plexus represents an excellent strategic fit for Microsaic. Its track record and customer base are world class and through this agreement we gain the ability to optimise and scale our manufacturing to meet the increasing demand for our products now and in the future.”
