As one of the latest and hottest IVD diagnostics technologies, liquid nitrogen (LN2) bead production technology has enjoyed very fast growth globally in the past two years. The COVID-19 pandemic and its variant virus spreading in Europe and America also triggered many multinational IVD diagnostics companies to accelerate LN2 bead technology and massive production. LN2 bead technology can not only greatly help instant diagnosis of COVID-19 and its variants, but also help accelerate other instant diagnostic analysis. In the near future, LN2 bead technology will definitely become one of the mainstream IVD diagnostics technologies.

In order to meet the demand of massive LN2 bead production in the European and American markets, Guangzhou Ascend Precision Machinery Company launched the latest DS528 automated bead production system in 3rd quarter of Year 2021. DS528 system has the following features and advantages

1. Large scale, high efficiency, automated LN2 bead production. The system can be customized to meet customer’s massive bead production.

2. Digital bead size change and adjustment.

Custom made precision ceramic pump technology is used to ensure bead accuracy and bead size digital setup and adjustment. This can help customers quickly switch between products and batch production.

3. Automated bead harvesting

A robot is used to handle automated bead harvesting. When the bead production quantity reaches preset value, the robot will automatically harvest beads for next process.

4. Reagent temperature control to ensure reagent effectiveness.

Temperature control device can help keep reagent at preset temperature in order to maximize reagent freshness, life cycle, and diagnostics effectiveness.

5. Automated LN2 addition to ensure safe production.

The automated LN2 addition device can ensure safe level of LN2 for continuous bead production. Option of LN2 level alarm is available upon request.

6. LN2 gas concentration detection

The LN2 gas concentration detection in the system can ensure continuous safe production. If the LN2 level exceeds safety level, the system alarm will turn on and operator has to take action to eliminate potential LN2 accidents.

The launch of unique DS528 automated bead production system helps IVD multinational corporations to realize large scale, low cost LN2 bead production. It also provides a safe and reliable bead production system, which in turn, will accelerate wide adoption of LN2 bead technology and massive production LN2 beads for IVD diagnostics and other applications.
