Malvern Instruments secures exclusive distribution rights in the United
States, South and Central America for Farfield Scientific analytical instruments
Unique metrology systems for molecular and nano-scale measurements complement
Malvern Zetasizer Nano capabilities
1 March 2007. Malvern Instruments Limited (Malvern, UK) and Farfield Scientific
Limited (Crewe, UK) have concluded an agreement that gives Malvern Instruments
exclusive distribution rights in the United States, South and Central America
for Farfield's unique range of analytical instruments. These systems provide
insight into the structure and functional behaviour of biomolecules and nano-scale
materials.
The agreement is effective from 1 March 2007. Farfield Scientific will continue
with its existing sales and distribution arrangements in other territories.
Malvern's Business Development Director, Duncan Roberts, said: "Sales of our
established Zetasizer Nano range of particle and molecular characterization
systems continue to grow. The combination of dynamic and static light scattering
provides sensitivity to small changes in particle size and molecular weight and
we are seeing their increasing application for the characterization of proteins,
biological and other nano-scale materials. The distribution agreement for the
United States, South and Central America with Farfield Scientific will enable
Malvern Instruments Inc. to offer its customers an additional capability,
allowing them to characterize the relationship between the structure and
function of biomolecules, and providing new insights into a range of surface
science applications."
Gerry Ronan, Chief Executive Officer of Farfield Scientific commented: "Farfield's
proprietary Dual Polarization Interferometry (DPI) technology is the first that
is capable of revealing the intimate relationship between structural change and
function in biological molecules in real time, at market-leading levels of
sensitivity and resolution. The synergy with Malvern's materials
characterization systems offers exciting new possibilities to researchers in
many areas of nano-materials and biophysical characterization. We look forward
to working with Malvern and to supporting their activities through our US office
in Pittsburgh."
Malvern Instruments is a global company that develops, manufactures and markets
advanced analytical systems for the characterization of a wide variety of
materials, from bulk powders to nanomaterials and delicate macromolecules.
Innovative technologies combined with powerful software produce systems that
deliver industrially relevant particle characterization, rheological and
chemical composition data. www.malvern.com
Farfield Scientific is an innovator and global supplier of new analytical
instruments that address the emerging molecular-scale measurement demands of the
Biophysics Surface Science and Nanotechnology communities. These communities
provide the most demanding measurement challenges facing research over the next
decade. The company's Dual Polarization Interferometry (DPI) technology is the
first that is capable of revealing the intimate and complex relationship between
structural change and function in biological molecules in real time, at
sub-molecular resolution. Application areas include biophysical
characterization, structural and functional proteomics, biomolecular interaction
studies, drug discovery, diagnostic development and biopharmaceutical analysis.
