Case Study: Quidel Corporation scales COVID-19 analyzer production with Plexus Corp.

Quidel scales Sofia® 2 analyzer production to tens of thousands with Plexus

Quidel Corporation, a manufacturer of diagnostic healthcare devices, faced the urgent challenge of rapidly scaling production of its Sofia® 2 Fluorescent Immunoassay Analyzer to meet surging global demand for COVID-19 testing. To overcome critical supply chain shortages and manufacturing constraints, Quidel called on its manufacturing and supply chain partner, Plexus.

Plexus implemented a highly collaborative solution, integrating its engineering and manufacturing teams to quickly set up production lines and leveraging its supply chain expertise to secure critical components. This partnership enabled Quidel to ramp production from hundreds to tens of thousands of Sofia® 2 analyzers per week. The measurable impact was the production of analyzers that made millions of rapid, accurate COVID-19 tests available to healthcare workers on the front lines.
