Gyros Wins SwedenBIO Award 2011

Gyros AB, a provider in utilisation of microfluidic technologies to miniaturise and automate immunoassays, has been selected as the 2011 winner of the SwedenBIO award. Now in its fifth year, the award scheme focuses attention on Swedish life science companies or industry leaders that have achieved significant national and international recognition during the previous year.

During 2010, Gyros saw major biopharmaceutical companies continue to demonstrate their confidence in the Company’s nanolitre-scale immunoassay platform. Of particular significance was an increased market penetration in North America, the region containing many of the key players involved in global efforts to develop novel biotherapeutics. The number of service providers, such as CRO’s, implementing Gyrolab™ workstations into their projects also increased. Having established the platform in the USA and Europe, Gyros is now focused on building awareness in Asia Pacific, where the Company has been appointing a network of distributors.

Peter Honeth, State Secretary at the Swedish Ministry of Education and Research, presented the award to Gyros president and CEO, Erik Walldén, during the SwedenBIO annual meeting held at the the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in Stockholm on 25th May.
