Andrew Lansley opens Anatune office  

Cambridge based Anatune, one of the UK’s largest suppliers of chromatography solutions, hosted an official opening of its new office at Wellbrook Court in Cambridge on 21 March.

The opening ceremony was performed by Secretary of State for Health, the Rt Hon Andrew Lansley CBE MP. Anatune’s new office sits within Mr Lansley’s constituency and numbers among its customers many businesses and government organisations involved in medical research and healthcare.

Anatune began in 1996 with a vision to create real customer value. Founded by Ray Perkins, who remains Managing Director, the company combines industry, scientific and application knowledge to help laboratories solve problems and increase efficiency and effectiveness. It brings together equipment from the world’s most trusted manufacturers to create solutions where the focus is on data quality, reliability, simplicity and speed.

Mr Perkins said: “We were delighted that Mr Lansley could be our guest of honour and perform our opening ceremony today. Our new premises offer more than double the space of our previous site and will enable us to host larger seminars and customer demonstrations, both in the new meeting rooms and the laboratories.”

Guests at the opening ceremony included Mr John Bridge, OBE, Chairman of Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce.

Anatune hosts an annual conference, which attracts leaders in chromatography science from all over the world. This year’s conference will be held on 12 and 13 June 2012, at Down Hall Country House Hotel in Hertfordshire.
