Zollner is doing its part: respiratory devices and test systems

Over 60 of the company’s customers are system-relevant; many of them are established businesses in the Medical Technology sector.

For example, Zollner produces the two modules for the pneumatic power supply and backup of a respiratory system from a renowned German Medical Technology Manufacturer. Our company is also a direct supplier of the entire electronics for the respiratory system. Zollner Elektronik AG was also involved in the development of the monitors so we were able to bring our entire spectrum of services in, from research & development all the way to after-sales service.

Zollner’s know-how, though, cannot only be utilized for the treatment of the ill but also in the stemming of the virus through quick identification of infected people. At the order of Qiagen, a biotech company, Zollner produces various systems to prepare samples for Covid-19 tests. The devices take over automated pipetting in the laboratory or cleanse the DNA of contaminants for clear indication of the presence of virus DNA. 

Erwin Stöckinger, head of the responsible Business Division at Zollner Elektronik AG says:  “We are all very clear about what is at stake here.  For this reason our employees are working very hard, and for that reason we are doing all we can to maintain the supply chain of urgently needed devices so hospitals receive new respiratory devices and labs can have additional devices with which they can increase the number of tests.”
