An end to boring old grey laboratory instruments

Tecan's popular Sunrise microplate reader and the new HydroFlex three-in-one platform are now available in bright orange, blue, red and green

Tecan hopes its fresh and vibrantly-coloured laboratory instruments will kick-start a transformation among laboratory scientists.

Life science is an exciting and fascinating field to work in, but most laboratories are full of boring-looking, dusty grey instruments.

Tecan's bold and colourful Sunrise and HydroFlex systems will brighten up any laboratory and bring a little fun to the workplace.

The colourful new look was first displayed at the Medica 2006 exhibition and a hot debate now rages over which colour is best.

Tecan invites opinions via its website, or leave a comment here - but Tecan also offers the the chance to win a Sunrise or a HydroFlex in one of the available colours or an iPod Nano every month until the end of 2007.

Sunrise and Hydroflex will make any lab more colourful
