Expansion of European Customer Services

ESA Biosciences, Inc., a subsidiary of Magellan Biosciences, Inc., has opened an expanded service and support centre in St. Neots, UK, to provide an enhanced level of customer service and support throughout Europe for its expanding base of HPLC Detectors, including the popular Corona CAD (Charged Aerosol Detector). This follows the recent opening of ESA's European Centre for Neuroscience Technology in Milan, Italy.

"The opening of this new service centre represents an expansion of ESA's authorised, trained service and support network to better serve our rapidly growing user base," said Eddie Goodall (General Manager, ESA Biosciences in Europe). Mr. Goodall continued, "The Corona CAD has been widely adopted by many leading pharmaceutical companies because it solves analytical challenges that no other technology can address. The ideal complement to UV detection, Corona delivers orders-of-magnitude advantages in sensitivity, dynamic range, consistency, reproducibility, and ease of use, providing universal high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detection of virtually any non-volatile or semi-volatile compound, including proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and small molecules. Since its introduction in late 2004, the Corona has proven essential for anyone who is focused on accelerating product development or ensuring the timely roll-out of products that meet quality specifications."

ESA Biosciences, Inc. enables answers to pressing applications challenges by applying its expertise in specialty HPLC detection and electrochemistry, combined with components, kits, and reagents, for analytical laboratories, commercial diagnostics laboratories, and the clinical point-of-care setting.
