Geri IVF Imaging Incubator
Genea Biomedx
An IVF imaging incubator incorporating sophisticated time-lapse embryo imaging, multiple incubator chambers, and an intuitive user interface that minimizes the need to disturb embryos during incubation.
Automated Sample Preparation Platform
ASP Health
A portable sample preparation platform that enhances cancer diagnostics through more consistent, high quality patient samples. The platform improves the rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) process for fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies, which could reduce the need for patients to undergo repeat invasive procedures.
LeviCell™ EOS System
LevitasBio
A high-throughput cell enrichment system that uses levitation technology to isolate and enrich pure, viable cells from multiple samples simultaneously without altering, stressing, or damaging them. The LeviCell EOS builds on the LeviCell 1.0 platform with a faster, more scalable workflow, giving researchers access to higher-quality samples for downstream analysis across a wide range of applications including cell and gene therapy and pharmaceutical drug development.
AVATAR Foundry
Xcellbio
A world-first instrument which grows cell therapies under conditions that mimic a solid tumor environment, producing immune cells specifically designed to target and kill solid tumor cancers. The AVATAR Foundry addresses a critical gap in cancer treatment, with studies demonstrating that cells cultured within the system are more potent, longer-lasting, and better equipped to penetrate and destroy solid tumours.
Rotea™
Scinogy
A flexible, scalable, closed cell processing system for cell therapy manufacturing. The multipurpose system has been configured and optimized for R&D and a seamless transition to commercial manufacture of high-quality, affordable cell and gene therapies, ultimately increasing patient access to these life-saving therapies.
Point-Of-Care Blood Testing Platform
Truvian
An automated, benchtop diagnostic platform that will produce lab-accurate results for a full suite of health tests in 20 minutes, using only a small sample of blood. The platform will make routine health tests more convenient and affordable.
SLIDEVIEW DX VS-M1 Digital Pathology Slide Scanner
Evident
A whole slide imaging system that combines microscope-quality images with fast slide scanning. The SLIDEVIEW™ DX whole slide imaging system is a digital pathology solution that delivers high-quality slide images at high speed, helping pathologists make diagnoses quickly and efficiently. Built with renowned optics and advanced digital technology, the SLIDEVIEW DX slide scanner is a complete digital pathology solution.
Masterflex® Ismatec® Reglo Digital Pumps
Avantor
A range of compact, benchtop peristaltic pumps designed for the R&D and analytical laboratory markets with a secondary focus on drug discovery and other low-flow applications within the biopharma and biotech industries. A refresh of an existing range, the new pumps have greatly enhanced user experience, internet connectivity, increased functionality and improved performance.
Proof Lab Test System
Proof Diagnostics
A low-cost point-of-care and at-home molecular diagnostic platform. Proof’s first assay is a simple, isothermal one-pot solution leveraging both RT-LAMP and CRISPR-mediated detection with no need for any purification step. The Proof system offers the potential for a low-cost, highly accurate, fast and highly scalable solution for organizations and individuals at the point of care and in the home.
VIP2000
Abbott Molecular
An upgrade to the VP2000 processor (which automates key steps in the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) workflow), the VIP2000 has multiple basin sizes, enabling laboratories to run smaller batches, thereby ensuring efficient reagent usage and reduced waste.
Tridex Protein Analyzer
IDEX Health & Science
A compact and easy-to-use protein analyzer that can measure protein titer directly from a bioreactor in real time. Tridex is the first protein analyzer on the market built specifically for bioprocess monitoring.
APAS Independence
Clever Culture Systems
A stand-alone, automated culture plate reading instrument that streamlines plate triaging, delivering reliable and consistent plate results three times faster than a highly skilled scientist.
Gavi
Genea Biomedx
An instrument that automates the freezing of human embryos during the IVF process, reducing the risk of harming the embryo, and likely increasing the fertility outcome for families.
Dermapen 4
Dermapenworld
A micro-needling instrument that sets a new global standard in dermatology, providing treatment for numerous skin conditions including fine lines and scarring. The instrument is the first of its kind to provide speed and depth adjustment via a digital interface.
