High-precision micropumps to fight Covid-19

The extensive test capacities on the Coronavirus require automated analyzers. The efficiency in terms of test numbers, personnel and security is particularly important here. micropumps from HNP Microsystems help to run the processes in parallel and make them faster.

For preparing the samples on SARS-CoV-2 a few microliters of a solution of chemicals and enzymes are dosed. The Micro annular gear pumps the low pressure series from HNP by dosing these liquids. The minimum dosage of the pumps is 0,25 μl. The micropump is particularly small and can be integrated into the control. Fully automated analysis devices can be equipped with up to 16 micropumps. These put up to 4000 medical samples daily around.

Micropump for numerous laboratory tests

The micropump is suitable for a wide variety of applications in the Medical Technology: In research for vaccines and therapy against Covid-19, the micropump is used for dosing. Every development step in the research institutes of universities, pharmaceutical companies or start-ups around the world is accompanied by numerous laboratory tests that are automated.

In addition, various series of HNP micropumps are involved in the production of vaccines hermetically inert pump. In the fight against Covid-19, these small pumps can be used in diagnostics, via the Research through to future vaccine production.

What can and what are micropumps? 

Micro pumps from HNP Mikrosysteme are involved in diagnostics, research and vaccine development against the coronavirus. But you also find in many other industries Commitment. This video from HNP gives an overview.
