Automated Pipetting Solution Ensures Rapid Evaluation of Covid-19 Samples

With the continuing changes seen within the Covid-19 virus strains, it’s vital that any samples can be analysed as rapidly as possible. Two Bavarian companies, GriPS Automation GmbH and D&T engineering GmbH, have worked together with OMRON to streamline the pipetting part of the process, reducing processing time from one hour to ten minutes per plate. As a result, the three companies have developed the PT600 laboratory processing system for the transfer of samples, using an OMRON Cobra 450 robot for contactless transport.

Safe Operation of Automated Guided Vehicle Systems

Where a human shares a workspace with an automated guided vehicle, i.e. a machine, there are particular requirements for safety concepts; human and machine must be able to operate smoothly and safely within the same environment. PILZ takes a holistic look at your automated guided vehicle system. They get on board as early as the design phase, when the system concept is developed, and provide support for your projects right through to commissioning. That way they ensure that safety and productivity are guaranteed when your automated guided vehicle systems are operated.
