Eltek expands life sciences focus as scientific instrumentation group grows

Eltek is strengthening its focus on the life sciences sector as part of the continued growth of the wider Royston Instruments group. This follows Eltek’s acquisition by Grant Instruments and Royston Instruments’ acquisition of a controlling stake in Biosan.

The businesses bring together complementary expertise across the laboratory environment. Grant Instruments has a long-established presence in scientific instrumentation and temperature control. Biosan provides equipment supporting a wide range of laboratory workflows, while Eltek specialises in continuous environmental monitoring and data logging.

For Eltek, the expansion represents an opportunity to build on more than 40 years of UK engineering experience. It is also an opportunity to apply its monitoring technology to the increasingly demanding requirements of modern life science laboratories, biobanks and regulated facilities.

Eltek provides an integrated approach to environmental monitoring, bringing together sensors, wireless data logging, alarms and Darca software. The system can continuously monitor critical equipment and environments including refrigerators, cold rooms, ultra-low temperature freezers, incubators, stability chambers and cryogenic storage.

From an individual laboratory to multisite operations, the aim is to give scientific and quality teams greater visibility of their critical environments. The aim is also to maintain reliable, traceable records to support investigations, audits, data integrity and regulated workflows, including those operating to 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.

Eltek is already working with a number of life science organisations to demonstrate the technology and explore how continuous monitoring can be deployed across existing laboratory and storage infrastructure.

The growing capabilities across Eltek, Grant Instruments and Biosan also provide the wider group with an increasingly comprehensive offering for organisations looking to control, manage and monitor critical laboratory environments.
