The data generated by our instruments can be analyzed and managed in our application-specific software and interfaced with customers information systems. The benefits of our solutions include enhanced accuracy, productivity and compliance.
Our broad offering includes analytical and precision balances, pipettes, titrators and thermal analysis systems. Our drug discovery offering includes automated lab reactors, in situ analysis systems and synthesizer tools.
