Sartorius loses distribution rights to the Biohit Ergo Tube

Tuesday, 21 August, 2012

Having paid €68m for Biohit’s liquid handling business, Sartorius has failed to reach an agreement with the patent holders and manufacturers of the Biohit Ergo Tube.

The range of 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 mL ergonomic microcentrifuge tubes will no longer be marketed by Sartorius. They will be available from the manufacturer Microstein or through various distributors.

Microstein has also partnered with BioCision to market the ergo tube as part of their Trucool range. The Trucool microtube will soon be available worldwide from both Fisher and VWR.
