WaferGen Biosystems has signed distribution agreements for SmartSlide micro-incubation system with Bucher Biotec in Switzerland, Unimed Healthcare in Taiwan and AH diagnostics in the Nordic region
The distributor agreements cover WaferGen's entire family of SmartSlide Micro-Incubation System products.
Bucher Biotec, Unimed Healthcare and AH diagnostics are each leading distributors of innovative products and services to cell biologists and stem cell researchers in the life science markets within their geographic areas of focus.
WaferGen's SmartSlide Micro-Incubation System is a first-of-its-kind family of integrated fluidics exchange micro-incubation products that work seamlessly with inverted microscopes.
This breakthrough technology is enabling cell biology and stem cell researchers to conduct complex time lapse imaging studies to characterise, differentiate and proliferate cells, as well as grow stem, primary and other difficult to cultivate cells in consistently optimal physiological conditions.
These innovative capabilities will allow researchers to pursue cutting-edge research topics that are not addressable with existing technology.
For example, the SmartSlide 200 Micro-Incubation System allows researchers to precisely control and vary oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen parameters in order to create anoxia and hypoxia conditions which are critical for growth and differentiation of stem cells.
"These key distributor agreements represent yet another important milestone in our strategic efforts to expand the reach of our SmartSlide Micro-Incubation System into new key foreign markets," stated Alnoor Shivji, WaferGen's chairman and chief executive officer.
"This innovative platform is already providing critical performance advantages to researchers in several valuable international markets through our existing distributor agreements in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore and the Benelux.
"In keeping with this strategy, we expect to continue to build our SmartSlide Micro-Incubation System customer base with additional international distributor agreements this year.".
