BioTek Instruments, Inc., proudly announces
that they are the recipient of 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:
SynergyTM
Hybrid Multi-Mode Microplate Readers, and the
EL406TM
Combination Washer Dispenser. Both combine multiple technologies in one unit,
thus eliminating limitations associated with choosing one technology, and thus
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 optimized liquid handling processes.
BioTek's Application Laboratory scientists
partner with many diverse assay reagent companies and also maintain close
relationships with customers to validate methods, fulfill unmet needs and solve
challenges in the marketplace. Additionally, BioTek maintains strong quality
practices, and measures customer pre-sale and post-sale satisfaction regularly
to ensure that they are meeting or exceeding customer expectations.
"Ultimately, Frost & Sullivan is
of the opinion that these practices result in a product line that boasts
flexibility, automation of traditionally manual steps, technology integration,
speed, and tremendous value for the price," noted Christi Bird, Industry
Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Additionally, BioTek's scientific
expertise and relationship building fosters new ideas, while its dedicated
focus allows it to quickly act on ideas and turn them into reality."
Peter Weith, BioTek Vice President of
Marketing, Sales and Service added, "We are humbled to be recognized by Frost
