Qiaen
Every day, QIAGEN serves 500,000 customers globally, all seeking insights from the building blocks of life – DNA and RNA. Delivering Sample to Insight solutions for molecular testing, we help scientists and clinicians to achieve breakthroughs in life sciences research, molecular diagnostics and drug development. In healthcare and academic institutions, and in drug-development and forensic laboratories, our solutions turn biological samples (DNA from blood, tissue, …) into insights (genetic clues for markers, medicines and identification). We offer world class products to extract, purify and stabilize DNA and RNA from samples, even the most difficult – a critical first step in finding new insights. Our novel testing technologies can target single molecular variants – or hundreds. Our software analyzes and interprets vast amounts of data to deliver valuable insights. And our automation systems combine these in seamless, cost-effective workflows. QIAGEN enables customers to move through the entire Sample to Insight process – faster, better and more efficiently – making improvements in life possible.

SARSTEDT
SARSTEDT: your partner for devices and consumables for medicine and science.
We develop, manufacture and sell devices and consumables for medicine and science. We are known worldwide as one of the leading providers in this sector. Since the company was founded in 1961, we have grown continuously and now employ 3.100 people. Headquartered in Nümbrecht (Germany), North Rhine-Westphalia, the Sarstedt Group comprises 35 sales organizations and 15 production sites in Europe, North and South America and Australia.
Quality "Made in Germany"
Our customers can rely on high-quality products with high performance. "We always develop solutions characterized by ease of use, safety and the latest technology," emphasizes the Sarstedt family, which owns the group.
In order to ensure this also in the future, sustained and intensive investments have been made at our national and international sites in recent years. The high quality requirement, continuous development work, committed and highly trained employees and automated processes are the components that make up our excellent quality "Made in Germany."
Quality under one roof
We offer services under one roof - from the initial idea to sales. The majority of our products are developed in our development center. About 90 percent of our products are manufactured in our own production facilities and for the most part sold around the world through our own sales organizations. In this way we can achieve the highest level of quality, delivery capacity and product support all under one roof.
Corbion
Our bioresorbable polymers have been developed to support life-changing medical and pharmaceutical products and meet the growing need for patient-friendly and economically sustainable solutions across both industries.
From tissue regeneration to cosmetics and drug delivery applications, our polymer technology can accelerate your innovations’ routes to market.
At Corbion, we understand that patients always come first. Over the last 45 years, we have gathered the experience and knowledge in polymerization technologies and chemistries to help accelerate your healthcare innovations to market. All while minimizing risk.
Our comprehensive PURASORB® polymer portfolio is not only consistently high quality, but it is tailored to suit your formulation requirements – and we can advise on everything from polymer processing and regulatory issues to QA/QC issues along the way.
From idea to market, we aim to make your development process as seamless as possible. Plus, we have the collaborative, co-creative mindset you need in a partner. With decades of in-depth experience across the sector, we have the specialized know-how to support your innovation and success.”

Li-Cor
LI-COR Biotech’s mission is to empower scientific researchers to unlock their next discovery with speed, accuracy, and consistency; advancing their studies of accurate diagnostic tests and effective therapeutics needed to treat and cure common and rare human diseases. We strive to provide integrated solutions that emphasize data quality and time to insight, all while considering the cost and efficiency for our customers.
To fulfil this mission, we have developed the Odyssey line. With this line you can image chemiluminescent & fluorescent Western blots, plate based assays, gels and tissue slides up to 5um resolution. To ensure you don't miss any information, all Odyssey instruments are equipped with a > 6 log linear dynamic detection range. This allows you to capture and compare all of your data in a single image acquisition - therefore very low and high signals can be detected simultaneously without worrying about saturation!

Optics11 Life
Optics11 Life is a life science instrumentation company that offers unique tools for advancements in drug development, regenerative medicine, and biomaterial development. We focus on providing robust, high throughput mechanobiology measurements in near-physiological conditions, integrated in the biological workflow.
Mechanobiology studies the impact of forces on cells and tissues, in healthy and diseased conditions. Having the ability to measure the mechanical properties of cells, 3D tissues, and biomaterials enables key innovations and improvements in in-vitro modelling, tissue engineering, biomaterial development and quality control.
The proprietary fiber-optic measurement technology, integrated in our nano-indentation platform Pavone, makes it possible to measure visco-elastic properties of cells, 3D tissues and biomaterials at the scale the matters the most: the cell scale. The pre-aligned, pre-calibrated fiber-optic probes measure in standard sample carriers such as 96-well plates, in any liquid medium and without tedious alignment and calibration steps.
Key application areas are:
- Using mechanobiology as a label-free biomarker for disease modelling and drug development on models for fibrosis, tumors and other conditions where mechanics play a key role.
- Development and quality control of spheroids, organoids, engineered tissues, to control heterogeneity and reproducibility.
- Development and quality control of biomaterials for in-vitro modelling, drug delivery, regenerative medicine.
