BioTrove Installs First European RapidFire System at Boehringer Ingelheim and Obtains CE Mark for the Instrument

24-Jul-2009 - USA

BioTrove, Inc. announced its RapidFire® High-Throughput mass spectrometry (RF-MS) screening platform was installed in its first European customer site at Boehringer Ingelheim in Biberach, Germany. The RapidFire system, which is being used for expanded in vitro ADME applications at Boehringer Ingelheim recently received Conformité Europeene (CE) and ETL Marks acknowledging mandated health, safety and environmental requirements were met, enabling marketing distribution across the European Union and in Canada. A second RapidFire system was also installed at Boehringer Ingelheim’s Laval, Canada site.

“RapidFire has allowed us to greatly streamline our workflow – our high-throughput screening of in vitro ADME samples is much faster using RapidFire than with our previous methods”, said Andreas Luippold, Lab Head (Department of Drug Discovery Support), Boehringer Ingelheim. “BioTrove’s RapidFire system will be an integral part of our drug discovery research helping us to focus our research efforts and resources on the best candidate compounds. Furthermore, the system helps us to be well prepared for future demands in the field of in vitro ADME.”

Intertek, the independent inspection and certification association, tested the RapidFire system and approved its application for the CE Mark, certifying the instrument meets European Union health, safety and environmental mandates. Intertek also recently awarded BioTrove the ETL Mark, indicating RapidFire meets North American product electrical safety standards and is now compliant to UL-61010-1, further extending the Company’s reach to Canada.
