Tecan Opens New Application Development Center in Kobe, Japan
Männedorf, Switzerland. Tecan, a leading player in the Life Sciences supply industry, officially opens its new Application Development Center in Japan on 1st October 2004. The facility will support the protocol development needs of customers in Japan and East Asia. In addition, the center will be used to showcase new laboratory automation solutions based on the Company's Freedom EVO® liquid handling workstations as well as Tecan's range of plate readers and washers.
The center will provide a location to continuously develop Tecan's products by optimizing protocols and gathering data that validate new solutions. This will ensure new reliable protocols with minimum set up time and maximum performance for customers. "Over the past two years we received many new automation ideas from our customers that we wanted to pursue, but due to limited facilities we could only take a few of these projects through to validation", said Scott Eaton, President of Tecan Japan. "Now, with this new facility, our staff has an ideal setting to test and validate new and exciting ideas our customers generate."
The new facility is situated in Japan's rapidly growing center for cell research and medical industry development in Kobe. It provides the ideal environment to further develop the well-known flexibility and adaptability of Tecan's products and automation solutions. By building up a collaborative network with academia and biotech companies, Tecan Japan will offer better support and resources for all life sciences customers.
The opening will be celebrated with a ceremony on 5th October 2004 at the Kobe International Business Center. The ceremony will commence with a keynote speech describing the objectives of the center, and scientific luminaries in cell research, as well as pharmaceutical sciences will give their congratulatory speeches. After the ceremony, the attending dignitaries and invited researchers will be given a tour of the lab and a brief explanation of the current solutions under development. These range from automated physical chemistry property measurements to cell-based assay optimization and cell culture solutions.
