Our technology enables non-contact handling of objects, especially biological materials, in an ultrasonic field. The decisive advantage lies in the avoidance of contamination during handling. The non-contact movement ensures that sensitive substances commonly used in the pharmaceutical, medical and other industries are not affected or contaminated. This innovative approach revolutionizes the way sensitive substances are handled and opens up new horizons for contamination-free processes, especially in applications such as DNA sequencing.
