Farnborough, UK and SHANGHAI ZHANGJIANGJIANG HIGH-TECH PARK
– 07 March 2019. Peak
Analysis & Automation (PAA), a global leader in laboratory automation, and Hongkong Zaotong International Group Co. Limited, have
announced a distribution agreement covering mainland China and Hong Kong. This
agreement, signed on 17th January 2019, comes in response to a
growing demand for PAA’s solutions across the regions. Hongkong Zaotong will
serve as an exclusive distributor to sell and support PAA’s laboratory automation
equipment, software and services.
Commenting on the agreement, Jiayan Sun, Product Manager at Hongkong
Zaotong, said, “ZAOTONG has been dedicated to automation solutions in life
science for many years. We are delighted to be working with PAA as we regard
PAA’s automation products as essential to the integration of other third-party
products which we represent, such as liquid handling devices, plate and tube
labellers, plate sealers and incubators. This relationship with PAA will allow
us to provide our customers with a fully integrated laboratory solution.”
Catering for fully integrated automation needs, PAA’s S-CEL™ robotic systems feature exceptional sample and
operator safety while providing a flexible, modular design
to accommodate all types of laboratory automation applications, large or
small. The systems can be ETLus and NRTL certified and exceed Biosafety Level 2.
S-CEL are the only solutions on the market to provide a laminar air flow across
the whole system to maintain sterility and protect valuable assays.
Keith Saunders, CEO at PAA also commented, “We are pleased to have
appointed a partner with experience in selling and supporting integrated
laboratory solutions to life science customers in order to address the
increasing demand for our products in China. We are very confident that
Hongkong Zaotong has the experience and expertise to grow with us and provide
high levels of sales and after-sales services to future customers in the
region.”
PAA supplies a wide range of automation solutions from simple benchtop
solutions—the reliable and affordable entry-level S-LAB automated plate handler—to large, customised and fully integrated
systems for automating complex cell-based assays. The new distribution
agreement ensures that customers in China and Hong Kong have easy access not
only to these systems and PAA’s intuitive software packages, but also to
high-quality regional service and support.
