INNOVATIS JOIN GRI'S RANGE OF SOLE UK AGENCIES

GRI have now signed a sole UK agency agreement with Innovatis GmbH, manufacturers of a range of sophisticated and innovative cell analysis systems. The addition of Innovatis to GRI's range of sole UK agencies provides UK laboratories access to the latest in cell counting technology.

"A passion for analysis" is the motto that has driven Innovatis in the development of it's CEDEX technology. The CEDEX system is the flagship product from Innovatis and offers new and innovative solutions in cell culture analysis. CEDEX offers an integrated analysis system for automatic cell density and viability determination, which increases the productivity of laboratories as well as the objectivity and precision of analysis results.

Innovatis' CEDEX system has successfully established the automation of cell counting on the basis of well-established trypan blue staining techniques. The use of trypan blue is key to the acceptance of CEDEX by laboratory staff within labs where routine cell analysis is a major function.

In addition to CEDEX, Innovatis plan to release the Cell Screen system to the UK market later this year, which for the first time, would carry out measurements on unstained suspension cultures in their culture vessels. Cell Screen has been in research and development for the last four years and on it's release will allow researchers to study culture dynamics and progression in time series.

The Innovatis range of products offer opportunities for new analysis strategies in biotechnology, medicine and pharmaceutics lab for all aspects of cellular testing procedures. This level of commitment to providing instruments specifically designed for cell analysis puts Innovatis in a class of their own.

GRI's knowledge and experience in cell culture laboratories is well established. The inclusion of Innovatis and their range of products to GRI's instrumentation portfolio provides scientist with the very latest in cutting edge cell analysis systems that will prove to be of true benefit in all aspects of their cellular research.
