We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Medical Equipment",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release ClO2 generators work alongside endoscope washers from
Tristel, which we summarised at the time by saying "As part of a co-operative programme, Tristel's fully automated chlorine dioxide generators are being installed alongside a leading brand of endoscope washer-disinfector in a number of NHS
hospitals".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Blood lactate concentration in sports medicine from
YSI (UK): "The YSI 2300 and 1500 Sport biochemistry analysers are associated with the training of many types of sports, from swimming to premiership football clubs, for the measurement of blood lactate acid".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Dolomite
- take a look at UK microfluidics team bets bigger
which says: "In response to the worldwide growth in demand for its 'lab on a chip' technology, Dolomite has taken on the expertise of four additional science based engineers to help meet customer demand".
Take a look also at the news release from Leica Microsytems, Leica Microsystems acquires Cell Analysis,
as well as Laboratory information at Malta's largest hospital from iSoft,
and 'Visionary' keynote programme for Interphex 2007 from Reed Business Information.
