Automated frozen-container thawing and emptying system
Transportable tunnel-based system that performs localized thawing, washing, drying, cutting and robotic emptying of frozen containers into processing tanks while separating disposable waste.
Vacuum-assisted flexible-container filling machine
Machine for filling flexible parenteral bags using a mold and controlled vacuum to minimize particulate generation and simplify sealing for compatibility with sterilization.
Sterile small-container filling system with pre-sterilized stopper workflow
Aseptic filling equipment using pre-assembled sterilized stoppers and caps combined with laminar airflow and in-line weight verification for vial and small-container filling.
Micro-hematocrit centrifuge and consumables
Compact micro-hematocrit centrifuge units, compatible capillary tubes and readers for rapid, low-volume hematocrit measurement in clinical settings.
Gel-card incubator and modular incubation systems
Incubator devices and modular systems designed to standardize temperature-controlled and timed incubation for gel-column agglutination workflows and to facilitate integration into automated analyzers.
Hospital pharmacy and blood bank software suite
Software suite for pharmacy logistics, inventory management, medication dispensing, blood bank management and clinical-trial data management, available as on-premise or web-based deployments.
