The system punctures sealed cartons, sub-samples liquids, and aliquots directly into microwell plates, with automated cleaning and ethanol sterilisation between samples to prevent cross-contamination.
Originally developed for UHT cream QC, the platform can be configured for food & beverage, pharmaceutical and laboratory testing applications.

Did you know we do everything in-house โ from the mechanical design and build to the software? Another automation machine is now underway and heading to an overseas customer.
This year, we decided to do something a little different and spread some Christmas cheer by joining the Kumeu Rotary Christmas Parade! ๐
We think it might be the first time industrial robots have featured in a Christmas parade in NZ. Huge thanks to our team for all the hard work after hours โ seeing the smiles on kids (and adults) faces made it all worth it!
We even got third place in the hotly contested commercial division! ๐Thanks Kumeu Parade, we had a blast.
