Why DFMZ

Why Choose DFMZ for Your Liquid Handler Enclosure?

DFMZ is not an off-the-shelf supplier. Every enclosure is engineered to instrument spec, certified to standard, and backed by 55+ years of controlled environment manufacturing.

Engineered to Your Instrument's Footprint

Unlike catalogue cabinets, DFMZ engineers every enclosure to your instrument's exact dimensions and airflow specification. Hamilton STAR and Tecan Fluent are not the same footprint, and your enclosure should not be either.

55+ Years of Manufacturing Since 1968

DFMZ has been building controlled environment equipment for pharma, biotech, and clinical diagnostics since 1968, longer than most of today's competitors have existed.

ISO 5 Certified, HEPA to IEST-RP-CC001

All DFMZ liquid handler enclosures achieve minimum ISO 5 conditions within the work zone, with HEPA filtration rated 99.99% efficient at 0.3 microns, in compliance with IEST-RP-CC001.

Serving Pharma & Biotech Across North America

DFMZ ships to pharma, biotech, and clinical labs across North America and internationally, including to Health Canada-regulated GMP environments and BSL-2 facilities.
