processing, making the treatment process affected. Besides, chemicals used in the treatment of incurable diseases are quite dangerous, if human contact can be burned or affected to health.

CytoCare can accurately read the dosing requirements of mixed chemicals for different types. After reading it, the robot arm will mix the ingredients and put them in a bag, bottle or syringe. If the bottle or syringe contains chemicals that are used up, the robot will put them in the trash, so the technician does not need to touch any containers. When the bin is nearly full, CytoCare will automatically close the trash and seal it before someone comes to take it out.

Robots also have the ability to check, identify and identify dispensing chemicals correctly through two identification processes. First the robot will check the chemical based on the barcode, then place the chemicals on the pedestal, rotate 360 ​​degrees, take chemical pictures and compare them with the images stored in the database. If the comparison result is not uniform, it will refuse to use this chemical.
