A company that counts among its customers the world’s largest labs, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies will introduce six new products at the analytica trade fair, in May 2014.
Greiner Bio-One (Frickenhausen, Germany) will showcase six innovative new products at analytica 2014, which will be held from May 10–13, in Munich (Germany). The Austro-German company, a technology partner for the diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries, is demonstrating its commitment to research and development.
With the new Cryo.s biobank tubes, Greiner Bio-One, which has been developing products for cryogenic storage for 30 years, is expanding its product portfolio to include a solution for high-throughput sample storage in automated storage systems. A new box in the standard 133 mm square format for the existing 1 mL, 2 mL and 4 mL Cryo.s freezing vials is also being unveiled at analytica, offering space for 81 Cryo.s vials. Openings on the bottom of the box enable a scanner to read the datamatrix codes without having to remove the vials.
Two innovations for the microscopy sector will be exhibited by Greiner Bio-One. One of them is the 384 well Screenstar microplates that can be used for high-throughput and high-content screening and high-resolution microscopy. The other solution for microscopy is a development from the Cellview product family––the Cellview slide. This is equipped with a removable housing that divides the slide into ten round compartments. To start with, ten independent cell cultures can be carried out for processing in a single operation after removing the housing.
In the field of cell cultivation, Greiner Bio-One is introducing the new ThinCert cell culture inserts coated with collagen type I at Analytica 2014. The additional coating with native collagen type I accelerates growth and differentiation processes several times over.
To simplify users' liquid handling, Greiner Bio-One has developed new colored inserts for Sapphire pipette tip boxes. The customized coloring is designed to help users identify more quickly which size of pipette tips is held by a particular box holds.
"Research and development are extremely important to us as a development-driven medium-sized enterprise," said Heinz Schmid, managing director of Greiner Bio-One GmbH. "As the leading trade fair for laboratory technology, analysis and biotechnology, analytica is a key platform for us to present our new products to customers and other interested parties."
