BioTek receives Frost & Sullivan Award

BioTek Instruments has received the Frost & Sullivan 2011 North American New Product Innovation Award for Workflow Solutions in Life Sciences.

Independent analysis by Frost & Sullivan research teams determined that BioTek excelled in its commitment to improving technology and streamlining workflows relative to other companies in their business category. This focus has resulted in the launch of over 20 new BioTek products in the market over the past four years.

The report cites BioTek's reputation for high-quality, cutting-edge microplate instrumentation and best-in-class customer support. Two recent BioTek microplate instruments were highlighted: Synergy hybrid multimode microplate readers and the EL406 combination washer dispenser. Both combine multiple technologies in one unit, eliminating the limitations associated with choosing one technology and enhancing assay flexibility.

Synergy H1 and Synergy H4 combine filter-based and monochromator-based optics in one microplate reader for increased assay flexibility and high performance. EL406 combines microplate washing with peristaltic and microprocessor-controlled syringe pumps for optimised liquid handling processes.

Peter Weith, BioTek Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Service, said: "We are humbled to be recognised by Frost & Sullivan for our efforts and we remain committed to setting the bar for flexibility, ease of use and value in microplate technologies, and eliminating workflow challenges for our customers."
