在 NextGen 生命科学自动化领域，Festo 正致力于开发面向医疗技术和实验室自动化的新解决方案。在 2026 年汉诺威工业博览会上，Festo 和 德国弗劳恩霍夫制造工程与自动化研究所将展示用于 CAR-T 细胞疗法中细胞修饰工艺步骤的盒式结构。自动化技术大大缩短了生产时间，降低了成本，使定制的癌症疗法更快、更便宜，并为更多患者所用。

Festo is expanding its portfolio to include multilayer manifolds made of plastic (bonded manifolds) in order to be able to offer manufacturers of medical and laboratory equipment solutions from a single source. To this end, Festo is taking over the production systems and processes for manufacturing these complex plastic manifolds from Carville, a leading company in this field.

Controlled Pneumatics is the revolutionary compressed air technology from Festo that is opening up new perspectives for pneumatics. Thanks to this technology, the pressure control of the compact proportional valve terminal VTEP is extremely sensitive, down to less than 1 mbar. This is perfect for applications such as wafer polishing or patch clamping in life science. In addition, Controlled Pneumatics uses high-precision piezo valves to reduce compressed air consumption by up to 50%.

 For the gas supply of bioreactors and fermenters or for dosing protective gases - the VEMD mass flow controller from Festo delivers maximum control dynamics and costs significantly less than comparable solutions for the control of air, oxygen and inert gases.
