EXPANDING OPERATIONS
INFRASTRUCTURE
In-house automation
- In-house automation expertise reduces your investment requirements
- One of the very few Liquid Handling Consumables manufacturing companies who have the ability to develop in-house automation based on your tip design, saving costs and reducing project lead-time
- Diamond-polished Swiss moulds for the superior inner surface, ensuring maximum sample recovery and high-precision pipetting
- 8 robots = 96 / 384 tips rack from 10 – 60 µl,
- 3 robots = 10 µl 96, 5 robots 20/100/200 µl,
- 3 robots = 1000/1250 µl, 2 robots spin columns,
- 1 robot = cryovial assembling and printing
INFRASTRUCTURE
Machinery
- Tool room and engineering strength – 250 m² tool room and technical department, drilling, milling welding, polishing, programming and extraordinary assembling of robots, electrical wiring, technical drawings, development support
- 18 fully electrical machines of 100 – 160 tonnes for ultimate efficiency and precision
- 1 hybrid machine of 300 tonnes
