“We are very pleased to add Axel Semrau as our OEM customer. Its team is highly experienced in Spark Holland products, and Axel Semrau’s own advanced software now connects our technologies directly to most of the MS software packages. Since we know the Axel Semrau team to be highly qualified, determined and knowledgeable, we are confident that they will also manage our existing distribution network very professionally and provide a large experienced service team. We look forward to seeing our DBS Autosampler and new SymbiosisTM ULTRA technologies introduced in their new system range during 2018. With this deal current partners and customers win, as do Axel Semrau and Spark Holland.”
Axel Semrau’s CEO, Dr. Andreas Bruchmann is delighted with the new deal, adding, “We have long held more global ambitions to make our innovative CHRONOS software and ability to develop fully automated workflows a success. We plan to introduce new systems to increase the momentum of Spark’s well recognized and market accepted online SPE technology globally. Axel Semrau uses CTCPAL products which will now be combined with Spark Holland technology, so we supply the software integration all the way to the MS. The Axel Semrau team will also carry out the Factory Acceptance Test, even with a proof of concept or validated workflow. We can now ensure we will meet the expectations of our customers even for the most challenging applications for sample preparation, and we are keen to start discussions with our partners and customers.”
The formal commencement date of the OEM contract is January 1st, 2019. However, both teams are already working hard to start to introduce new sample prep systems during 2018.
