Used AMERSHAM BIOSCIENCES / GENERAL ELECTRIC Equipment for sale

Amersham Biosciences, now known as GE Healthcare, is a leading global provider of innovative technologies and solutions in life sciences. It traces its roots back to 1949 when the Radiological Instruments Ltd. was founded in England. In the subsequent years, the company established itself as a pioneer in the fields of nuclear medicine and analytical instruments. In 1997, Radiological Instruments merged with the Swedish company Pharmacia Biotech, and Amersham Biosciences was born. The company's name was taken from Amersham in Buckinghamshire, England, where one of its important research facilities was located. Amersham Biosciences developed a wide range of products for biomolecular research, with a primary focus on B2B solutions for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and molecular diagnostics industries. Their product portfolio included cutting-edge laboratory equipment and accessories for gene expression analysis, protein purification, monoclonal antibodies, DNA sequencing, and protein synthesis. One of their noteworthy accomplishments was the development of the Amersham ECL (enhanced chemiluminescence) Western Blotting System, which allowed for a more accurate and rapid analysis of proteins. Additionally, Amersham Biosciences manufactured and distributed molecular imaging devices such as the Typhoon Scanner, which revolutionized the way scientists visualized and analyzed the behavior of biological molecules. In 2004, Amersham Biosciences was acquired by General Electric (GE), a multinational conglomerate. With its strong financial backing and vast resources, GE Healthcare expanded the reach and capabilities of Amersham Biosciences' innovative products. Today, as GE Healthcare, the company continues to lead in the life sciences field, providing a diverse range of medical imaging, software, and diagnostic solutions that empower researchers and clinicians in advancing healthcare worldwide.
