In Zhangjiang, Shanghai, the orbital robot is acting as a "tireless porter" in the original energy biological sample bank to ensure that the sample bank is unattended and autonomously controllable.
On the eve of the opening of the 8th Shanghai Fair, on April 12, the surging news reporter walked into the Original Energy Cell Biological Cryogenic Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Original Energy Biology") to reveal in advance the wisdom spark generated by the collision of the biological sample bank and 5G, automation and intelligent manufacturing technologies, which are regarded as the cornerstone of the biomedical industry.
Pronergy Bio is a subsidiary of Progeny Cell Technology Group. Wei Jia, vice president and marketing director of The Original Energy Cell Technology Group, said that before Germany's biological sample storage equipment was relatively leading, but a device was often millions of euros, and the only automation equipment on the market was also monopolized by foreign brands, and there was a risk of being "stuck neck", "Our technical research and development team of more than 100 people decided to do it themselves to develop domestic equipment with independent intellectual property rights." ”
In order to ensure the safety of biological samples as the starting point, Progeny Cell Technology Group innovatively put forward advanced concepts such as "full-process cryogenic cold chain protection", "hive-type independent unit storage", "single-branch access", "unattended sample library", especially the honeycomb-type cryogenic independent unit storage structure, which is the world's first.
Honeycomb type deep and low temperature independent unit storage structure.
The honeycomb type deep and low temperature independent unit storage structure can accurately sample single pipe picking in deep and low temperature (-196 °C) environment to ensure the safety of innocent samples.
Wei Jia explained that the traditional manual storage of biological samples has many drawbacks, and it is impossible to avoid sample crossover, normal temperature exposure, repeated freeze-thaw, manual operation errors, low temperature frostbite and so on. The honeycomb type deep and low temperature independent unit storage structure and fully unattended automatic can not only achieve radiation protection, no frost, temperature balance, but also can accurately sample single pipe in the deep and low temperature (-196 °C) environment to ensure the safety of innocent samples.
2 ml cell sample
At this fair, Yuanneng Bio will bring the flagship product BSN260 honeycomb automatic liquid nitrogen model machine on-site display, which can store 26,000 2 ml cell samples, and will also use the 5G network to achieve equipment operation interaction with the biobank in Zhangjiang, and interpret the application of 5G-loT technology and digital twin technology in the biobank for visitors.
The reporter saw on the big screen of the original energy biological loT remote operation and maintenance platform that the platform can display the global business layout, equipment abnormal information, sample bank total, monthly statistics in and out of the library, equipment type classification and other details in real time, and the screen shows that "as of 10:44 on April 12, the number of stored (cell) samples 118539". Technicians say that in the future, with just one mobile phone, customers will be able to view sample storage information in real time.
The large screen of the Proton BioloT remote operation and maintenance platform showed that "as of 10:44 on April 12, the number of stored (cell) samples 118539".
During the Shanghai Fair, visitors issued instructions in the original energy biological experience area, and the biological sample bank in Zhangjiang will immediately act after receiving the instruction through 5G communication, and the orbital robot will accurately reach the designated equipment and accurately extract a 2 ml cell sample from the hive-type independent unit storage box.
"At present, the automated storage equipment we developed has been iterated to the fifth generation, and nearly 300 patents at home and abroad have been applied for, which not only replaces imports, but also exports to the United States and Japan, achieving global technology leadership." Wei Jia said.
