Automated assembly system for lab diagnostics
Streamline your lab diagnostics production with a flexible assembly system, designed to handle small batches and ensure seamless material flow from dosing to final sealing.

Assembles and Fills Diagnostic Discs
The Vario-Flex from Harro Höfliger is a semi-automatic platform designed for precision assembly and filling of diagnostic and pharmaceutical products in lab-scale and small batch settings. Its modular design allows for seamless integration of various processes including dosing, filling, sealing, and packaging, offering versatility across multiple production scenarios. The servo-driven transport system enhances flexibility and process reliability by facilitating efficient manual feed and automated sequences, ensuring material flow is consistent even at minimal quantities. This machine is ideally utilized for producing diagnostic discs, lab diagnostic reagents, sealed diagnostic kits, and analytical test kits. Capable of handling up to 10 parts per minute, Vario-Flex offers a clean-room design option rated from Class 100,000 to 1,000, ensuring compliance with industry standards. Its robust control systems, combined with advanced parts handling using vacuums, grippers, or tongs, ensure accurate component placement and high-quality outcomes. The ergonomic table structure is GMP-compliant, guaranteeing easy accessibility and maintenance.
