CPS Fluidics

CPS Fluidics is a private contract manufacturer and development partner focused on microfluidics and flow cells for the life sciences industry. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Nashville, TN (with a manufacturing facility in Wallingford, CT), the company leverages expertise in materials science and precision machining to help clients miniaturize assays and develop fluidic detection platforms. With over 500 customers served and a team of approximately 35, CPS operates as a strategic B2B partner, enabling clients to outsource complex fluidic component production while protecting intellectual property. Its business model is entirely service-based, generating revenue through custom development and manufacturing contracts.

Adaptable contract development and manufacturing process for custom microfluidic devices and flow cells, with expertise in materials (glass, plastic, PDMS), precision machining, bonding, and scaling from prototype to commercial volume.

CPS competes with other specialized microfluidic CDMOs (e.g., Micronit, Dolomite, ALine) and broader life science tool manufacturers offering fluidic components. Its key differentiators are its US-based manufacturing, strong focus on client collaboration and IP protection, and expertise in scaling from prototype to volume production.
