"As Syntec pushes advanced manufacturing frontiers in Space and Defense, our established mission-critical and highly-accurate BioMed product lines continue to anchor the business with stable, diversified, recurring orders for products with long life cycles," said CFO Dean Rudy.   Syntec's ultra-precisely manufactured disposable point-of-care cartridges serve as consumable diagnostics of hemoglobin, electrolytes, and metabolites in most of the world’s clinical laboratories. In typical hospital network and trauma center deployments, dozens of these units enable test runs simultaneously across various high-acuity wards, including Intensive Care Units (ICUs), Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), operating rooms, and emergency departments.  Syntec Optics contributes to optical technology that improves human health. In an ICU, a patient typically has their arterial blood gases and critical parameters checked 2 to 3 times per day to manage mechanical ventilation and maintain metabolic stability. Overall, a typical hospital or department may conduct between 400 and 750 tests per month. A busy clinical unit may routinely process 15 to 40 patient samples every 24 hours. "Syntec’s advanced manufacturing capabilities were put to the ultimate test during the COVID-19 pandemic, and our biomedical offering rose to the challenge," said Matt Carey. "Our custom-engineered solutions enabled critical blood gas analyzers to deliver precise, real-time metrics at the bedside, bypassing lengthy lab delays when minutes mattered most. We are incredibly proud that our production and engineering not only supported vital respiratory care but also enabled hands-free testing that kept frontline medical staff safe." In high-stakes acute respiratory distress scenarios, these ultra-precise subsystems enable delivery of critical oxygen, carbon dioxide, and clotting risk data in approximately one minute, drastically reducing the hours-long turnaround time of traditional central labs. "We have shipped about half a million in products for this order and intend to complete full delivery by Q3," stated Jen Gale, Director of Operations at Syntec Optics and veteran Air Force Technician. "Our focus on advancing optical technologies isn't just about pushing technical boundaries; it's about positively impacting human lives when every second counts." In addition to space tech and defense tech, Syntec has a proven track record of advancing optical technology to improve human health. About Syntec Optics Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc.
