Posted: 31 July 2014 | | No comments yet

BIOTECON Diagnostics GmbH Potsdam, Germany and DORNIER-LTF GmbH Lindau, Germany announce their new OEM partnership in July 2014.

Based on DORNIER-LTF’s liquid handling robots, BIOTECON Diagnostics will distribute worldwide their own automation solution specialized for the food and feed industry and the environmental sector.

The foodproofĀ® Roboset+ powered by DORNIER-LTF combined with BIOTECON Diagnostics’ foodproofĀ® real-time PCR based pathogen detection kits (e.g. for Salmonella) is the perfect solution for automated food diagnostics.

During the past months the foodproofĀ® RoboSet+ successfully passed an intensive validation at BIOTECON Diagnostics’ laboratories. Besides the foodproofĀ® Robo-Prep+ HT for high sample throughput, the RoboSet+ is the second automated PCR-Setup solution for PCR-based microbial tests specialized for the food sector and also for laboratories with significant lower throughput.

DORNIER-LTF and BIOTECON Diagnostics share many synergies and both companies look forward to introducing this innovative and as well favorable automation technology.

ā€œThis cooperation is another important step for us in the global expansion of our markets, in which the automation and standardization of processes has become increasingly important,ā€ says Kornelia

Berghof-JƤger, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BIOTECON Diagnostics. ā€œThe strength of our automation systems lies in focused product development based on clients’ needsā€, emphasizes Alois Schneiderbauer, Chief Business Officer (CBO) of BIOTECON Diagnostics.

ā€œThis OEM partnership is the consistent extension of the existing good collaboration of the two companies. DORNIER-LTF considers itself again as a reliable engineering contractor and partner for technologically demanding solutionsā€, Rudolf Walser, General Manager of DORNIER-LTF, explains.

The foodproofĀ® RoboSet+ is suitable for all fields in the food industry that perform pathogen testing.
