Madison-based Intense Engineering has a system that can prepare thousands of patient samples for COVID-19 testing each day and help reduce the country’s backlog of tests, according to a company release.
The company designs and manufactures custom automated machines for life science labs and companies, and it has created the HSP-1000 machine that was originally designed for companies identifying customers’ genetic heritages. The machine doesn’t test the samples but streamlines the preparation, reduces the chances for human error, and can prepare about 1,000 sample tubes for testing each hour.
