在Compamed展会上，Festo将通过液体分装应用展示新款CECC-AX控制器。该控制器将PLC编程与Python相结合，从而能够在极小的安装空间内灵活实现各种功能。 因此，该控制器特别适合应用于紧凑型台式设备和子系统中——例如在样本制备、预分析或液体及耗材的自动化处理领域。

Seeds are the new gold. Why is that? Plant-based foods can feed an ever-growing world population. But climate change, pests and diseases threaten plant breeding. To help develop resistant seeds and make them available to agriculture, plant breeders need vast amounts of DNA. That is precisely why Synchron Lab has developed the "DNA factory", which is automated with handling gantries, electric axes, pneumatic grippers and sensors from Festo.

If there’s one thing the corona pandemic has taught us, it is that laboratories place tremendous importance on high sample throughput rates. Even with highly qualified laboratory personnel, this demand can no longer be met. There’s no getting round the automation of laboratory processes. That’s why MolGen in the Netherlands developed PurePrep TTR, which can prepare 320 patient samples per hour for molecular downstream processing. And the Dutch company uses laboratory-specific automation technology from Festo.

This solution allows OEMs to develop instruments targeted specifically to their application in minimum time.
