The new Biotechnology Regulatory Atlas - compiled by LGC for the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) - guides SMEs and start-up companies on effective compliance strategies.
It comes as a direct response to the demand from customers for a paper-based resource, and recognises the immense value of useful indexing as demonstrated by the new Gene and Bioactive Compound Index." The ATCC strategic partnership enhances LGC s pharmaceutical business, which provides expert services in analytical technology, measurement and in vitro testing in support of drug discovery and development.
LGC Promochem s European offices supply ATCC's full range of cell lines and microbiological strains, and can organise shipments directly from ATCC's central repository in the US if required.
Furthermore, to guarantee quality standards, LGC Promochem only supplies authentic ATCC products, and not "derived" materials.
Jeffrey Anthony continued: "LGC Promochem's service through our network of offices ensures a cost effective solution to increasingly time-critical research and, in addition, provides value-added customer service through its local technical experts.
The combined force of LGC and ATCC makes a real difference to the European biological and biomedical research community, and supports LGC Promochem's commitment to providing authentic research materials and standards worldwide." LGC Promochem will be exhibiting the catalogue at BioTechnica 2003 (Hall 3, Stand B54), in Hannover, Germany on 7-9 October, in addition to demonstrating its comprehensive range of products and services aimed at the biotechnology industry.
