MagXtract System
nents, transformers and EV motors that are used widely worldwide.
Its Motor Stator 1920 system, for example, integrates
several of the company's instruments: a wound component
analyzer equipped with AC & DC Hi-Pot testing, insulation resistance
measurement, 4-terminal DC resistance measurement,
and impulse winding test capabilities with 10 ports for scanning;
the Chroma LCR Meter Model 3252 for Ls/Q and winding phase
measurement; a vacuum system and a test fixture.

Bosch Unveils e-Mobility Motor for
Commercial Vehicles
MagXtract, a new nucleic acid extraction system for biotech labs
developed by Taiwan-based Chroma, a company well known
for its test equipment for magnetic components, EV motors and
transformers, is being lauded for its innovative capabilities.
Its MagXtract 3200, a fully automated nucleic acid extraction and
PCR setup system recently won Taiwan's National Innovation
Award, a coveted indicator of demonstrated research & development
as well as innovation capacity by healthcare institutions
and enterprises in the field of biotechnology. After three stages of
comprehensive review, 80 industry experts recognized the system
as the winner out of submissions from over 300 companies.

Technology
A novel open platform that performs nucleic acid purification
and polymerase chain reaction setup in a compact bench-top
workstation, the system greatly eliminates repetitive and complex
steps, reduces hands-on time by more than 90% and reduces the
risks of bio-specimen infection for medical laboratory scientists.
Enabling high-volume use of magnetic particle reagents, It accelerates
the progress for biotech examinations such as Covid-19
diagnostic testing and has received numerous product approvals
for markets around the world.

Using hairpin winding technology to maximize power density
and fresh approaches to cooling, Bosch has developed a new
efficient electric motor for commercial and medium-duty vehicles.
The new 230 electric motor has a rated voltage of 800 volts and
is designed for long service life. Bosch introduced the motor at
the Motor Bella autoshow held in Michigan in September, along
with an array of its other e-mobility solutions.
During development of the motor, Bosch engineers paid particular
attention to optimizing the continuous power density to enable
a compact design and easy integration into electric rigid axles.
To achieve this, hairpin winding technology is used in the stator
as well as combined oil-water cooling. The rotor and stator are
internally oil-cooled and the active parts are installed in a water
cooling jacket. The motor is available in power ratings between
150 and 230 kilowatts continuous output.
