TEHRAN (ISNA)- Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said tubular centrifuges will be used for vaccine production.
'Production of medical lasers and launch of UV purification rays system have been started. If we deliver it to the Health Ministry, we will take an efficient step in controlling expansion and outbreak of skin cancer,' Ali Akbar Salehi said.
He further added the country plans to work on design and production of equipment including tubular centrifuges, ultra centrifuge and fermantors to build bio-tech drugs in three years.
The project would reduce the country's reliance on foreign products, he said, adding the country has managed to optimize tubular centrifuge used for medical purposes and raise its speed to 20.000 revolutions per minute.
Salehi also said that the speed of similar versions of this centrifuge hit 18.000 revolutions per minute.
