Eight product families in the Hematology & Histology line, including 250 products, have received the CE Marking, including Routine and Special Hematology stains, Routine and Special Histology stains, Histopaque Cell Separation media, Cytochemical stains, Cytology stains, and Histology stains.

The Cell Culture line received CE marking for 17 product families that include 150 products. Product families given CE Markings were Liquid Media with or without glutamine and sodium pyruvate, Concentrated Liquid Media, Salt Solutions with and without sodium bicarbonate, trypsin and penicillin solutions, Powered Media with and without glutamine, Powdered Salt Mixtures, Amniocyte Media, Bone Marrow Media, BSK-H Media, Fetal Bovine Serum, Cytogenics reagents and Supplements, L15 Leibovitz Media and Peripheral Blood Medica.
