Laboratory automation in the fight against corona

An expansion of the test capacities is an important component in the fight against COVID-19

The more tests that are done, the more you know about the virus. It is also important for people with symptoms to know promptly whether they are sick. The safest test for detecting a corona infection is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. Since this is very complex, there is no way around automated laboratories with a high throughput. Small servo drives for longitudinal and rotary positioning are particularly often required in the analysis devices. With these, a high level of dynamics and precision is essential. FAULHABER DC miniature motors and bell armature motors with integrated encoders optimally meet the high demands of continuous use in medical test laboratories.
