Peak Analysis & Automation (PAA), a global leader in laboratory automation, and Hongkong Zaotong International Group Co Ltd, have announced a distribution agreement covering mainland China and Hong Kong. This agreement, signed on 17th January 2019, comes in response to a growing demand for PAA’s solutions across the regions. Hongkong Zaotong will serve as an exclusive distributor to sell and support PAA’s laboratory automation equipment, software and services.

Commenting on the agreement, Jiayan Sun, Product Manager at Hongkong Zaotong, said: “Zaotong has been dedicated to automation solutions in life science for many years. We are delighted to be working with PAA as we regard PAA’s automation products as essential to the integration of other third-party products which we represent, such as liquid handling devices, plate and tube labellers, plate sealers and incubators. This relationship with PAA will allow us to provide our customers with a fully integrated laboratory solution.”
