Empowering Laboratory Instrument Automation: Unveiling ZHAOWEI’s Cutting-Edge Micro-Drive System for Automated Liquid Workstation

October 31 05:00 2023

In the turbulent year of 2020, as the world grappled with the relentless onslaught of COVID-19, a formidable challenge emerged for global medical systems. The rapid spread of the virus necessitated thousands of nucleic acid tests worldwide, urgently demanding efficiency and accuracy. Amidst this crisis, a beacon of hope emerged from the heart of China’s technological prowess. Drawing upon 24 years of gearbox design and R&D expertise, ZHAOWEI recognized the critical need for automation, launched its marvelous Micro-drive System for Automated Liquid Workstation.

Elevating Laboratory Instrument Automation with Precision Drive Systems

In today’s medical landscape, automated liquid workstations play a pivotal role in the clinical laboratories of hospitals, performing an array of essential tests such as blood routines, urine analyses, and stool examinations. However, a significant bottleneck exists: Manual operation are still required in the entire testing process from sampling, bottling, sample tube caps opening and closing, centrifuging, extracting to samples examination, typically consumes a minimum of 40 minutes in conducting a blood routine test.

Recognizing the urgent need to enhance testing efficiency and boost sample throughput, ZHAOWEI introduces its innovative micro-drive system solution to automate the opening and closing of sample tube caps. As a result, the liquid workstation now achieves an unprecedented milestone – the ability to process a staggering 384 samples in only 10 seconds.

This drive system is truly remarkable for its innovative design, integrating a DC metal brush motor and a planetary gearbox into one cohesive mechanism. This mechanism is precisely connected to the sample tube cap. As it rotates, it drives the cap and orchestrates the fully automatic opening and closing of the entire sample rack.

Beyond its functionality, the drive system boasts a compact form and a precision transmission structure. It ensures a stable output of large torque even within the constraints of limited space, also eliminates the risk of medical incidents caused by instrument vibration. Additionally, the optimization of the gear tooth shape has proven to be a game-changer. It helps to reduce mechanical losses incurred during repetitive movements, standing as a pinnacle of performance and service life.

Customized Drive Systems Provide Targeted Solutions for Multiple Application Scenarios

The utility of liquid workstations stretches far beyond medical diagnostics. In academic research, agricultural monitoring, and food safety to provide fast and reliable testing results, these stations play a pivotal role in delivering rapid, reliable results. They mitigate the risk of cross-contamination and manual operation. Drawing from rich collaborations across various fields, ZHAOWEI has formed a complete customization process from design to confirmation, from sampling to mass production,honing the expertise to meet the diverse technological needs of the clients.

“Automation stands as the cornerstone of medical progress, as it allows for greater efficiency and accuracy in the labs, helping physicians to make diagnoses and treatment plans more quickly and precisely.” – Dr. David Ho, an American HIV/AIDS research pioneer once mentioned in his paper. Having been committed to the frontier of intelligent healthcare for decades, ZHAOWEI’s self-designed Micro-drive System for Automated Liquid Workstation is adaptable to diverse parameters and liquid workstation types. In the unfolding chapters of health care, ZHAOWEI will firmly cooperate with clients, upgrading instruments, and pioneering the way to a healthier tomorrow.
