MA micro automation has developed CERES POC – a highly flexible production system for the manufacturing of Point-of-Care (POC) rapid diagnostic tests. The system can be used to produce multiple product configurations. Development of these systems considered the entire process chain, from plastic molding to QC testing and packaging. As a result, over 30 million tests per year can be produced with one system, in close to normal room conditions.
