Recent Developments

• In June 2023, NuAire Inc., a leading supplier of laboratory equipment, recently entered into a strategic partnership with Activar Plastic Products Group (APPG) and its brand LabAire Systems, a renowned manufacturer of high-quality plastic components and products. The goal of this collaboration is to expand NuAire's product offering and facilitate the development of innovative solutions for various laboratory applications. Under this new agreement, LabAire will use its plastics manufacturing and design expertise to produce high-performance components for NuAire's state-of-the-art laboratory equipment. Both companies benefit from shared knowledge and resources, joining forces, resulting in more efficient and sustainable production processes.
• In May 2023, Binder GmBH launched the new UF V 350, a small and efficient ultra-low-temperature freezer for reliable storage of sensitive samples. The UF V 350 is a very compact device specially developed to save space in laboratories without compromising performance. Its smaller footprint means the UF V 350 can be easily transported through standard doorways, making it much easier to install and integrate into existing laboratory spaces. The device can optimally perform something larger in laboratories with limited space, but reliable and safe storage of samples must be ensured. This launch has helped the company to expand its freezers product portfolio.
• In July 2022, Telstar developed a new sensor that can monitor the progress of the sublimation front in real-time in GMP freezing processes. The disposable sensor, which contains 5 independent temperature sensors, including wireless communication placed in the vial, makes it an innovative system that can precisely follow the progress of the sublimation front, which is key to optimizing the initial drying stages of lyophilization processes. This new development will help the company to expand its product portfolio.
