Porvair Sees Growth in 2009

Porvair Sciences has announced a 20 percent growth in its Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) design and manufacture business during 2009. In addition to increased sales of private label deep well, assay and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) plates to existing customers – the company has secured three OEM microplate design and manufacture contracts during the last 12 months.

Tony Castleman, MD, commented, “In today's global marketplace, more instrument suppliers recognize that 'off-the-shelf' microplates will not enable them to open up new application markets or gain a competitive edge. Consequently our custom microplate design and development business has grown'.
