More Information
Summary:Disclosed are apparatuses, systems, and methods for processing materials, including biological or chemical materials. A manufacturing module may include a work station configured to perform a process involving equipment capable of use with biological or chemical material, a first transportation segment that is configured to connect and disconnect with a second transportation segment such that when connected, a carrier of the biological or chemical material can be transported from the first transportation segment to the second transportation segment, a pick and place robot configured to move an element between the first transportation segment and the work station; and a movement mechanism configured to allow the work station, the first transportation segment, and the pick and place robot to be moved as a single unit. A system may include a plurality of manufacturing modules that are reconfigurable to a plurality of configurations.
