Whatever your needs, you can integrate the performance and reliability features that you want and that your customers and regulatory standards require. We design and manufacture all the components of a complete fluidic and motion control system. Parker Life Sciences understands what it takes to ensure compatible designs that seamlessly integrate with your products. Improve modularity and reduce dependence on components Lower technical risks Optimize engineering resources and focus on core technology Your customers require the flexibility and adaptability that modular engineering delivers, but as an OEM instrument manufacturer, you must ensure you have zero risk of component incompatibility. You also need to collaborate with a partner that can offer measurable savings in project cost and time. METAMODULES MetaModules are pre-engineered subsystems designed to meet the precision fluidic and motion control requirements needed by life science applications. MetaModules are: OEM application-specific an adaptive platform that incorporates a broad range of Parker's technologies, including pneumatics, fluidics, and motion control used to design a modular system that works seamlessly with your instrumentation, with little to no customization For example, you can select dispensing modules with a range of ultralow to standard volumes and combine this with robotic positioning modules that offer exactly the motion precision you demand. Imagine getting the accuracy and repeatability you need with less time, money, and effort. Whether you build patient monitors, patient care devices, mass spectrometers, or liquid handlers, MetaModules offer more than just a list of parts to add to your BOM. Now, you have a new choice for fluidics and motion control solutions. CONTACT YOUR PARKER LIFE SCIENCES ASSOCIATE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ADVANTAGES OF METAMODULES TODAY.
