In addition, next to the biosensor sam5 another instrument – the sam5 pro – will be introduced in the second quarter to address besides the research market, additional applications especially within quality assurance. The samX to be launched in September 2011 will provide the customer with unmatched flexibility for sample loading and parallel analyses. “The sam5 pro and the samX represent an important step towards meeting the needs of the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. We believe this product portfolio gives us a strong position in our target markets. ” adds Managing Director Dr. Markus Perpeet.
