Feb 5, 2024 – PolyAn and axiVEND announced today an agreement to create a partnership for the distribution of PolyAn’s microarray consumables in North America. axiVEND already distributes M2-Automation and M2-Instruments spotters, as well as Bioscience Media microarray imagers. The addition of PolyAn’s extensive range of functionalized slides, coverslips, plates and custom solutions to axiVEND’s current offering will further facilitate the development of complete microarray-based solutions for customers.
The world of microarray-based testing is again expanding. “The presence of axiVEND in the North American microarray market is growing and makes it the perfect partner for us,” said PolyAn CEO Fridtjof Lechhart. “axiVEND has the expertise to go beyond equipment sales and help customers with their application development. This enables the selection and delivery of multiplex solutions that optimally combine equipment and consumables needed for a successful, scalable test production.”
