Strip Manufacturing: Screen Printing vs. Laser Ablation

Introduction

Diabetic test strips demand precise manufacturing. Two methods dominate: screen printing and laser ablation.

Screen printing uses a mesh screen to apply chemicals. This traditional method is cost-effective and widely used.

Laser ablation uses a laser to create the chemical pattern. This method offers higher accuracy and gains popularity.

Manufacturers weigh factors: screen printing is faster and cheaper, while laser ablation provides precise results.
