Kim Christiansen, CEO of Flow Robotics, said: “We immediately saw a huge potential in collaborating with Global Focus. They share our values of bringing highly relevant products to labs; solution-based products that are developed for the user, like the flowbot ONE.
“The US market is flourishing and home to world-leading research- and academic institutes, life science companies and diagnostic labs. Together we can bring user-friendly automation into their workflow and help them thrive.”
Adding, Adam Schiller, president of Global Focus, said: “Setting up a protocol can be an obstacle because most lab scientists are not trained in software programming languages.
“However, with the flowbot ONE’s drag and drop software, anybody can set up and run a protocol immediately.
“We’re excited to work with Flow Robotics and introduce it to labs across the US.”
