PamGene requested an all-in-one table-top laboratory instrument to perform microarray analysis comparable with the lab tests already performed. In addition to these requirements, the liquid-handling processes and process sequence also needed to be completed automatically. Last but not least, extremely strict thermal specs applied.
Sioux acted as a main contractor; mechanical, optical, software, electronic and firmware design were performed in-house. The transformation of the (outsourced) industrial design into series of producible components was performed by Sioux. A number of concept changes were implemented to realise the CoG targets. During the (clinical) test phases, PamGene also received support from Sioux.
PamGene now has the opportunity to launch microarray technology in the market. An all-in-one automated microarray pre-preparation and analysis laboratory instrument. The modular design and production were carried out in accordance with high medical standards, FDA and ISO-13845.
