French company performs two million tests per month packed with flow pack machines from ULMA Packaging
Two million Covid-19 detection tests per month: this is the production target set for July by the French company NG Biotech, which received one million euros of funding from the Ministry of Defense.
The small “all-in-one” plastic case pricks the fingertip, collects a drop of blood and analyses it with reagents. “It will allow in just 15 minutes to detect if a person has been infected with the virus for only a few days and remains contagious, or if it has been, is cured and therefore immune.

 

ULMA packaging France has been working on the packaging project for these tests since 2017. “Events have been accelerated with the COVID 19 health crisis and it is not one machine that has been ordered but three to meet production needs” says Milovan Stankov-Puges as CEO of NG-Biotech.
