Eppendorf – Expanding the scale of bioprocessing technology with DASGIP expertise

Eppendorf and DASGIP's appearance at this year's Achema trade fair, from June 18 to 22 in Frankfurt, will provide both companies with the opportunity to display just how successful this “perfect mix” strategy can be. Only six months after the merger, the companies will present the first jointly developed products at this industry event.

“With a unified spirit of innovation, combined with our New Brunswick product line, we are now able to offer additional excellent solutions in the field of bioprocessing,” comments Eppendorf CEO Dr. Dirk Ehlers. “And the products presented here are just the beginning,” continues Dr. Matthias Arnold, member of the DASGIP Management Board and Head of Development. “The next innovations are already in the pipeline.”

We know bioprocessing – According to this joint motto Eppendorf continues to expand its share of the bioprocessing sector: with DASGIP parallel bioreactor systems, New Brunswick bioprocess technology, and innovative DASGIP control and analysis software.
