Medical Diagnostic Automation

Situation

A startup biomolecular diagnostics manufacturer developed a cost-effective screening technology to assist in the early detection of cervical cancer.

Problem

An easy to use, accurate, reliable and cost-effective automation solution with an industrial design was needed to load and scan slides under a microscope.

Solution

Designed and built a fully automated system for testing, image analysis and image capture in 14 weeks
Interfaced to the customer's existing controls and software
Provided fully automated slide handling with ±10 μm accuracy
