Laboratory Diagnostics
NEST fabricates a wide variety of parts that exceed the competition. Many fabricated parts are used for Lab Diagnostics. Stainless steel and other specialty alloys are used for several reasons including their corrosion resistance and ability to be cleaned between uses.
Lab diagnostics utilize sample probes and other parts and assemblies to analyze samples like blood, tissue cells, urine and other substances to diagnose diseases, illnesses and other attributes depending on the application. Precision fabricated parts and expert quality are required for any application in Laboratory Diagnostics.
We also fabricate parts and assemblies for hematology, chemistry, immunoassay, lab automation and more.

Instrumentation
NEST manufactures and fabricates parts for the Instrumentation industry such as probes, guide tubes, drain tubes, rinse tubes, water tubes, manifolds, reusable needles, connectors and connector tubes, air & gas tubes, and more.
Stainless steel is most commonly used but other alloys are also used based on the specific application, liquids, gases or chemical and physical properties required. Coatings such as PTFE, vapor deposition coatings, plating and more can also be applied to reduce carryover and provide additional resistance to corrosion.
- Probes
- Guide Tubes
- Drain Tubes
- Rinse Tubes
- Water Tubes
- Manifolds
- Reusable Needles
- Connectors And Connector Tubes
- Air & Gas Tubes
- Others
Veterinary Diagnostics
NEST forms and fabricates several different tools, probes, veterinary needles and diagnostic tubular parts for many major veterinary diagnostics OEMs.
Custom veterinary diagnostic parts for
- hematology
- chemistry
- dosing
- feeding
We will also manufacture and assemble for specific customer applications. NEST uses precision cutting, machining, laser welding and finishing services such as electropolish and coatings to fabricate robust reusable parts, probes and assemblies with reduced carryover to exceed specific veterinary customer requirements.
Dental
In dental applications, small diameter stainless steel tubing is employed as a cost effective way to fabricate reusable tools and instruments that can be sterilized. The parts are often robust, durable and suitable for most applications.
In newer style instruments, stainless steel tubing can also be used in some surgical applications that require guiding lasers to the site. This requires precision fabrication with incredible consistency over different lots of parts.
Food and Beverage
Stainless steel is widely used in the food and beverage industry for its hygienic properties, corrosion resistance, durability, and long service life. These qualities help maintain the integrity of equipment and processes where cleanliness and reliability are essential.
Common stainless steel tubing components include:
- Dispense tubes
- Drain tubes
- Sanitary fittings
- Connections
- Valves
- Pump components
For food and beverage applications, the durability, cleanliness, and quality of fabricated components are critical to reliable performance.
Agriculture
Sampling probes are heavily relied on in the Agriculture industry to provide data on soil samples, nutrient levels, contaminant levels, pH levels and others. This can be critical to maintaining a reliable supply chain all the way from fabrication to field to crop distribution.
Tubular parts are also used in irrigation systems for large scale operations that require corrosion resistance to environmental conditions
Oil and Gas
Petrochemical, oil and gas industries utilize small-diameter tubing to form and fabricate components such as:
- Gas tubes
- Supply tubes
- Coolant tubes
- Preheater tubes
- Anode gas tubes
- Manifold tubes and manifolds
- Inlet and outlet tubes
Stainless steel is preferred for its corrosion resistance and durability. Other specialty alloys are also commonly used in applications exposed to harsh environments and extreme temperatures.
Oil and gas probes are used to monitor and control temperature, pressure, and fluid and gas composition and analysis.
Mass Spectrometry and Detection
Spectrometry uses small diameter stainless steel tubing for its high purity and consistency, along with the efficiency to transfer samples during analysis.
Tight tolerancing, high quality, consistency and repeatability are absolutely critical to spectrometry and detection to ensure an accurate measurement across systems. Small diameter stainless steel tubing is used in sample introduction, columns, vacuum systems and more.
