As the Novel Coronavirus pandemic continues, unique challenges are being presented in terms of research in medicines and vaccines for COVID-19. Huber has expressed its goal of supplying high-precision temperature control technology to help researchers solve these challenges.
“We are part of Germany's critical infrastructure with our product portfolio for research and pharmaceutical production. Many of our clients are working intensively on the development of new drugs, test procedures and vaccines against the coronavirus. Our temperature control units make an important contribution in the research laboratories and production facilities of chemistry, pharmaceutical and medical technology” says Daniel Huber, CEO of Peter Huber Kältemaschinenbau AG.
Huber’s temperature control technology can be utilized to manufacture chemicals for coronavirus tests. In addition, reaction vessels are tempered in which the first vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 may soon be produced. Huber temperature control technology is used in the production of medical devices and protective equipment, i.e. material and functional tests and for quality assurance.
In the field of laboratory diagnostics, Huber products manage the cooling of analysis devices and ensure precise temperatures in the cultivation of cultures as well as in the preparation and storage of laboratory samples.
A main focus of Huber is on protecting employees and maintaining production. Accordingly, numerous measures to protect the workforce have been established, including additional hygiene measures and rules of conduct, the cessation of travel activities and the spatial distancing of employees.
“We want to help contain the pandemic with our temperature control solutions as quickly as possible. In the fight against the coronavirus, time is one of the decisive factors. That is why we are available for short-term device deliveries and support services wherever our products are needed for research or production tasks against the coronavirus. I am convinced that if we act quickly and responsibly, we will be able to overcome this extraordinary situation together” states Daniel Huber.
