Turner BioSystems Combines with Promega to Expand Integrated Systems Offerings
MADISON, WISCONSIN (August 3, 2009)
Promega Corporation announces the recent purchase of
Turner BioSystems Inc. to grow their mutual interest in
offering high quality integrated systems (optimized
instrument with reagents) to life scientists in research,
drug discovery and clinical diagnostics. This latest Promega
expansion continues the existing synergies between the two
companies. Together they have delivered integrated
bioluminescent systems with Turner’s luminometers and
world-class bioluminescent technologies from Promega.
"This is a natural next move for Turner," explains Turner
President Mike Mokelke. "Over the years, innovating with
Promega has created productive instrument/reagent systems
that scientists highly value. Both companies are eager to
optimize this total systems approach for the bench top."
"The Turner quality and our long standing relationship make
this a great enhancement for all of our customers," says
Promega CEO Bill Linton. "Scientists value quality
integrated systems because it frees them up to focus on the
other demands in their lab. This purchase allows us to offer
these systems for more applications."
Turner and Promega have worked together in offering the
Glomax® Luminometer line that is optimized for Promega
bioluminescent assays. Turner offers microplate and single
tube reader luminometers, fluorometers, photometers and
multimode instruments for life science labs. Turner will
continue its operations out of Sunnyvale, CA.
