Application development Sample preparation robot

The identification of pathogens in blood cultures is essential for the short-term treatment of sepsis patients. To speed up the preparation of blood cultures for the actual detection procedure, the customer is developing a robot that performs the sample preparation steps. This will require various resources such as pipette tips, reagent and wash solutions, and work steps such as pipetting, centrifugation and application to a detection medium will be performed by the robot. User interactions with the robot are controlled by application software that supports the workflow with wizards and logs the work steps. As part of the development of the application, the quality management system will be extended to include the software development process for medical devices.
