Wrong. Corning was the manufacturer for the single-use plastic parts of the MicroDEN™ system.

The Corning MicroDEN system is composed of the MicroDEN unit manufactured by Flaskworks, and closed-system consumables manufactured by Corning, such as tissue culture-treated polystyrene flasks, storage bottles, and tubing. The Corning MicroDEN system is jointly branded with Flaskworks and will be marketed, sold, and supported globally by Corning.

That agreement with Corning was terminated when Northwest Bio purchased Flaskworks, and the EDEN system consumables that Corning previously suppled was re-sourced. (likely to St Gobain)

Flaskworks was a client of Fikst Product Development, who transitioned Flaskworks to a contract manufacturer for the MicroDEN™ unit itself.

Fikst provides transitional manufacturing A traditional pain point in the product development process is the transfer to contract manufacturing. Fikst can smooth this process by producing 1-50 instruments and 1-5,000 consumables to allow you to have production units for data gathering, clinical trials, user feedback studies, or for evaluation by potential partners.

Fikst offers a wide range of capabilities from concept to manufacturing. We also frequently partner with industrial design and electrical engineering firms as required to meet the needs of a project.
