Nov 06, 2014 BioDot, the leader in system tools for diagnostic tests, and JOT Automation, the leading supplier of test and production solutions, installed an automated cassette assembly system for the volume manufacturing of lateral flow tests to the Chinese Inspection & Quarantine Facility (CIQ).
The modular desktop assembly cell is based on the JOT IDeA (Intelligent Desktop Automation) platform. The novel robotic solution is fast and accurate with the ability to singulate, assemble, print and inspect lateral flow tests in an extremely small footprint.
Jorma Venäläinen, Business Line Director of Life Sciences at JOT Automation, says: “JOT sees micro factory solutions as a growing trend. We are excited about the opportunities to use our know-how, originating from the telecom industry, to offer solutions for the medical diagnostics market.”
“Life science companies like CIQ are seeing manufacturing as a critical asset to increase capacity and quality cost effectively and to speed up development cycles. The importance of automation technology has never been more relevant.”
“The modular IDeA platform is an ideal solution for manufacturers with more than one product to assemble. Quick product changes, flexibility and efficiency support our philosophy, bringing manufacturing strength to the laboratory, just perfectly,” states Anthony Lemmo, COO of BioDot.
BioDot and JOT started their partnership in 2012. Experts from both companies are showcasing all the key features of the medical device assembly platform IDeA at MEDICA in Düsseldorf, Germany. Meet us at BioDot’s booth (Hall 2 Stand C47) on November 12-15.
