LABOMATIC Instruments AG and KNAUER Wissenschaftliche Geräte GmbH enter into strategic cooperation
Both companies serve end users, sales partners, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers
5 Feb 2025LABOMATIC Instruments AG and KNAUER Wissenschaftliche Geräte GmbH have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at combining their complementary strengths to offer a larger portfolio to their respective customer bases.
KNAUER manufactures high-tech laboratory instruments for research, routine analysis, quality assurance and other applications, including analytical liquid chromatography systems for a flow rate range from 0.001 to 10 mL/min at up to 862 bar pressure. The preparative HPLC systems from KNAUER can be used for continuous operation in a flow range from 5 to 200 mL/min up to 100 bar pressure – in non-permanent operation up to 400 mL/min.
LABOMATIC manufactures preparative and process HPLC systems and components, also for use in ATEX and GMP areas. The expertise in preparative systems lies in the higher flow rate range of 0.28 to 2.0 L/min at pressures up to 600 bar. The process HPLC systems can deliver a flow rate of up to 9.0 L/min at pressures of up to 380 bar.
Liquid handling systems are the second product field. LABOMATIC also offers customized solutions in terms of size and application. Both companies serve end users, sales partners and OEM customers.
Customers in the liquid chromatography arena in particular are likely to benefit from the complementary expertise, especially in terms of flow rate and pressure ranges. KNAUER will be able to offer higher maximum flow rates and pressure ranges and LABOMATIC will also be able to offer analytical solutions.
“This cooperation enables us to make our products accessible to a wider audience and strengthen our market presence. We look forward to working with KNAUER,” says LABOMATIC CEO, Claude Marchand.
Carsten Losch, Managing Director of KNAUER, adds, “The partnership with LABOMATIC enables us to expand our product portfolio and offer our customers even more comprehensive solutions in the preparative segment. The collaboration will improve both our market positions.”
