康宁公司(NYSE: GLW) today announced it has received a $15 million award from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), in coordination with Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), for the domestic production of robotic pipette tips used in support of diagnostic testing for COVID-19.
这项投资将使康宁生命科学将增加国内生产能力的增量。机器人提示有助于自动化液体处理，用于药物发现和筛选，细胞培养和PCR测试应用，最特别是支持Covid-19诊断测试。
Ron Verkleeren，生命科学技术高级副总裁兼总经理，“Covid-19测试的全球需求激增揭示了机器人提示和其他一体产品的行业范围内缺乏。康宁很高兴再次接听电话，因为我们调动我们对抗病毒的能力。我们很自豪地支持美国政府努力扩大国内制造诊断产品，并帮助为未来建立强大的供应链。“
这种发展是康宁在大流行反应中作用的最新举例。根据与美国政府的单独协议今年早些时候宣布，康宁大大扩大了康宁Valor®玻璃瓶的国内制造能力，以帮助支持数百万患者的疫苗接种和治疗。
由卫生保健提升法案资助，新奖项由国防部的国防部辅助收购（DA2）细胞与空军收购科技委员会（DAF法案）的协调协调，以支持国内产业基地的批判性医疗资源。
康宁以自1915年引入Pyrex®玻璃以来，康宁已成为医疗保健和制药行业的信任供应商。今天，康宁是生命科学实验室产品，细胞培养液，生物过程和专业表面的领导者。该公司还有助于提供更可靠的药物，并以其革命性的新玻璃包装用于药物储存和交付。
