The NPC-100 is manufactured in a class 1000 clean-room to minimize possible sources of contamination. A specially designed silicon micromachined sensing element is used to meet or exceed all industry requirements while minimizing assembly and test cost for maximum customer value. Thick-film laser-trimming is employed for final compensation and calibration. Sensitivity is maintained to ±1% and linearity is better than 1% in the physiological operating pressure range.

The NPC-100 is batch-manufactured in ceramic plate form and shipped as an intact array for easy customer automation. This assembly method draws from well-established manufacturing techniques used in the electronics industry in order to produce a quality, high volume product.
