29 Ovens & Incubators Contributing to the Fight Against the Corona Virus with Precise Temperature Control
Lauda temperature control units support companies in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, for example in the commercial production of pharmaceutically and biotechnologically produced active ingredients - this becomes important, for example, in the production of a vaccine against the coronavirus in large quantities. An important step in this process is the temperature control of bioreactors. Here, microorganisms are cultivated under the best possible conditions, for example in the range of body temperature to 37-38°C, and then suddenly cooled down. “In the fi eld of bioproduction, Lauda have been supplying all well-known customers for years. The Integral process thermostats and the Variocool recirculating coolers with additional heating have become a kind of gold standard in the temperature control of bioreactors,” explained Dr Gunther Wobser, President and CEO of Lauda.
For the mass production of a possible vaccine or supporting medication, the industrial division of Lauda develops heating and cooling lyses for scale-up processes. These include process cooling systems for so-called ‘Freeze & Thaw’ processes, in which active ingredients are deep-frozen in large tanks and shipped for further processing. “We are currently receiving enquiries from major technology companies in the USA who are using our industrial cooling systems for research on COVID-19,” said Dr Marc Stricker, the COO responsible for this area.
In addition to production, the storage of active ingredients plays an important role in combating the pandemic. Lauda cryogenic equipment is used, for example, in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of vaccines and medications in order to store samples safely and over a long period of time.
Lauda also offers solutions in the area of preparatory steps: “In the area of laboratory technology, we are currently receiving an increasing number of enquiries about Lauda -GFL stills,” explained Dr Gunther Wobser. The distillation apparatuses of the youngest Lauda subsidiary are used for the production of purifi ed water for the manufacture of disinfectants as well as for the supply of autoclaves for sterilisation/autoclaving, e.g. of surgical instruments, components or tubes of respirators. So-called overhead shakers also help in the fi ght against coronavirus - the shakers are used to produce solutions for test kits for the extraction of DNA and RNA from a variety of sample materials such as serum, plasma, oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal swabs (mouth, throat or nose) or other respiratory samples.
Lauda’s contribution does not end with its products and services. The company has also offered its support to the Corona Task Force for Medical Technology of the state of Baden-Württemberg, as well as to the well- known medical technology company Dräger in the production of urgently required medical devices. Lauda also helped Corona helpers of the Main-Tauber Kreis with donations in their solidarity against the consequences of COVID-19:
“We take the virus very seriously in our own company as well and have initiated strict rules and safety measures to protect the health of our employees and at the same time ensure the availability of our temperature control units worldwide,” said Dr Gunther Wobser. “Fortunately, we can still guarantee this at present. All of our employees are working fl at out, either on site or from their home offi ces, to deliver fi rst-class quality under the given restrictions for those who are urgently dependent on our products in the fi ght against COVID-19,” added CFO Dr Mario Englert. “We are proud to be able to contribute to the solution of the Corona crisis with our daily work.”
