IN-Vitro-Diagnostics (IVD):
DILUENT RACK FOR BLOODTESTS
Under contract with a leading company specialised in blood group serology, Rychiger developed a customer-specific machine for dosing
and sealing of racks. Precise micro filling and
absolute hermetic sealing are just some examples of Rychiger’s technological expertise.

Process Sequence
The racks are delivered in bulk and sorted by an
oscillating conveyor.

A single-track continuous
Protective

infeed conveyor feeds the racks to the pick-and
place system and synchronises them into the main

Aluminium: 70µm

unit. At the micro-filling station the individual cap-

Thermo lacquer: 9 g/m2

illary tubes are simultaneously filled with the reagent fluid – without spillage and in precise dosage.
At this point the valves can be adjusted at defined
intervals according to operator specifications.
Even with small amounts of 100 µl a tolerance of
+/– 1% deviation can be maintained. An integrated
CIP function allows quick product changes. The
racks are then sealed with the cover film. Thanks
to Rychiger’s unique «One-Stroke» technology the
punching and sealing are performed in a single step.
Afterwards the racks are fed from the cleanroom to
the discharge conveyor where they are labelled and
final packed.
