Medical technology - OEM
CUSTOMER
Customer is an Italian company specialized in advanced microwave instrumentation for analytical and organic chemistry labs.
BACKGROUND
Customer’s technical development is the first all-in-one tissue processor with an exclusive patented microwave hybrid processing technology.
Normally, temperature is raised with electrical resistence, but the customer uses micro-waves getting a more precise temperature curve and a fastest process (biopsy). Analysis time is dropped from 10 to 2 hours.
The customer had persistent problems with leakage issues in his applications.
