Damit Impfstoffe zuverlässig und in ausreichenden Mengen produziert werden können, bedarf es je nach Herstellungsmethode der passenden technischen Ausstattung, wie zum Beispiel hygienisch und präzise arbeitender Pumpen. (Quelle: Gerd Altmann, pixabay) / In order for vaccines to be produced reliably and in sufficient quantities, depending on the production method the appropriate technical equipment, such as hygienic, high-precision pumps, is required.

Um Mischungsfehler zu vermeiden, wurden die Pumpen in der Triplex-Variante ausgeführt, das heißt mit drei Pumpenköpfen je Pumpe und Motor. Dadurch war kein Pulsationsdämpfer notwendig.(Quelle: LEWA GmbH) / To avoid mixing errors, the pumps were designed in the triplex variant, i.e. with three pump heads per pump and motor. This meant that a pulsation damper was not necessary. (Source: LEWA GmbH)
