The Center of Excellence (COE) is the second Singapore-based facility of its kind opened by PerkinElmer in the past year. The center will serve as a training and knowledge sharing facility for life sciences researchers located throughout the Pacific Rim.
Operated by PerkinElmer’s Bio-discovery business unit, the center will provide advanced solutions in the areas of automation and detection, cellular imaging and analysis, and drug discovery and research reagents.
The newest Singapore COE is well equipped with PerkinElmer instruments, software and reagents for biotech, pharmaceutical and academic customers that enable scientific workshops, demonstrations and customer support and training. It also provides classroom courses with topics covering techniques for assay development and training of instrumentation and related analysis software.
Daniel Marshak, chief scientific officer and president of Greater China at PerkinElmer, said: “PerkinElmer’s decision to open an additional Center of Excellence in Singapore within a year underscores the company’s commitment to both environmental and human health and becoming an even more significant partner in Singapore’s growing life sciences community. As we continue to expand into cellular sciences, we greatly anticipate working closely with both our regional and global customers through the new center.”
