We are very much looking forward to discuss superiority of our products to further establish ourselves as a leading provider of innovative tools for processing genetic information for a multitude of applications,' Miguel A. Viribay, Vice President Sales and Marketing of SYGNIS commented.

'We will be able to meet many key decision-makers from the health care sector and show them how our kits work.

Here our products can really support researchers in their daily business,' Ángel Picher, Associate Director Product Development of SYGNIS added.
