Techtum Lab has signed a contract for delivery and installation of a system for digital PCR. The client is a private research laboratory of high reputation in Copenhagen. The system is the second of its kind to be installed in the Nordic region.
The order value is approximately 2 MSEK the first year and thereafter consumables of about 700 kSEK per year.
A few months ago Techtum signed an exclusive distribution agreement for the Nordic region with US company RainDance, which is the world leader in digital PCR; an area that is gaining ground.
"It is very nice that RainDance choose to work with Techtum, it shows that our efforts to become a knowledge company pay off", Techtum CEO Håkan Evefors says in a statement.
"The order is in itself a merit; but if the customer wants the most sensitive detection of DNA/RNA, there really are no alternatives to RainDance's Raindrop systems today" Håkan Evefors continues.
Delivery will take place in August.
