Syngene
Appoints PerkinElmer as Canadian Distributor Guarantees
Premier Service for Image Analyser Customers |
July 22 2003 Cambridge, UK:
Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis solutions is delighted to announce that it has appointed PerkinElmer Life Sciences, one of the world’s largest life science supply companies as its exclusive distributor in Canada.
Under the terms of the agreement, PerkinElmer has sole rights to market Syngene’s unique range of fluorescent and chemiluminescent image analysis and documentation equipment in Canada. This includes the powerful GeneGenius fluorescent image analyser and multi-award winning
GeneGnome, the world’s only dedicated chemiluminescence system. For their part, Syngene will provide comprehensive technical service and training to ensure PerkinElmer’s scientific sales professionals can expertly market and support Syngene’s image
analysers.
Glenn Carnegie, Central Branch Manager for PerkinElmer Life Sciences Canada stated: “To offer a total proteomics solution we had to have versatile image analysers in our product portfolio, which would perfectly complement our leading imaging instruments. After assessing a number of
analysers, we concluded Syngene provides just that with their feature packed high quality systems. When the opportunity arose to be their Canadian distributor, we were keen to enter into an agreement and we are now looking forward to a very productive working relationship.”
Paul Ellwood, Syngene’s Sales and Marketing Director added: “We are delighted to have a company of PerkinElmer’s calibre to be our Canadian distributor. The fact such a major supplier approached us is a bonus and a great endorsement of the well-deserved reputation for excellence our analysers now enjoy internationally. We decided to partner with PerkinElmer because only a company of their scientific standing can provide the professional approach to ensure Canadian users of Syngene image analysis systems will receive the highest standard of sales and service care.”
