Get the new White Paper on robotic tips manufacturing.

Automated robotic liquid sampling systems are one of the most powerful tools research labs and clinical diagnostic operations have adopted in recent years. They enable pharmaceutical companies to screen millions of compounds in short amounts of time, help genomics researchers conduct rapid, high-throughput analysis of thousands of genetic sequences and equip clinical testing labs with reliable systems to process millions of diagnostic tests with very high levels of throughput and accuracy. 

A simple high-technology component plays a key role in these systems: the disposable tip that is inserted into the source liquid and extracts a precise sample for analysis by the robotic system. Hundreds of millions of these tips are manufactured and used every year across the globe, yet they all must be designed, manufactured and tested to ensure that each tip delivers trusted, reliable, repeatable sampling results. 

In our newest white paper, we examine one manufacturing facility’s processes to explore how to balance high-throughput production and tight quality control in tip manufacturing through key processes and capabilities, including: 

• Rigorously controlled tip design and engineering process and tooling creation 
• Fully automated manufacturing from initial extrusion to packaging 
• Class 8 clean room production environment 
• Advanced video inspection systems that check every tip 
• Dedicated personnel committed to maintaining the highest levels of quality
