We have been working with the Hungarian division of Xellia Pharmaceutical Chemical Company for a long time.

The laboratory problem
This unique specialty requires a high degree of laboratory preparedness. So far, microbiome breeding techniques have only been partially mechanized. Non-automated work has left over a lot of scrap, reducing efficiency in both production time and raw material use.
In Xellia’s case, we aimed at piercing the culture medium placed in the Petri dishes in the shortest possible time and with the least amount of scrap in the laboratory.
It was needed for their own research to speed up the time lab analysts dedicate to research while preparing experiments.

The innovative task
Our task was to design a laboratory culture medium punching device that had never been produced before.
For us, the greatest advantage obtained from this work in addition to developments in pharmaceutical manufacturing that we also managed to strengthen our position in the competitive laboratory equipment production market.

The innovation process took less than half a year
After the exact identification of customer needs, the design, preparation, testing and commissioning of the device took only 5 months.
This is an achievement in itself, given the several months of preparation procedures common in similar industries.
The project was a drain on our resources, but it was worth it. Besides, we also gained a lot of experience in the process, as theory never evolves to a fact.

The product: culture medium punching equipment
In this regard we pride ourselves on producing a machine of which there is only one in the entire world!
Yet another proof of our ability to handle tasks that require creative engineering and precision manufacturing work.
The outcomes predict our continued success
The best measure of our customer’s satisfaction is that our work in Budapest resulted in a new order for an additional equipment by the US-based subsidiary of the company.

Summary
We sincerely hope that this our special purpose machine will help speed up the work of our customers. It is uplifting and an exciting professional challenge to be part of this process.
