San Jose, California: Molecular Devices, LLC, the company that provides innovative bioanalytical solutions for protein and cell biology in life science research, is excited to announce the $1M expansion and opening of a new Research and Development Center located at Urstein Sued 17, 5412 Puch bei Hallein, Austria.

“For over 40 years, we have been designing and building high quality instrumentation and we are now in a position to expand our capabilities. The site is evidence of a growing biotech community in the Salzburg area, adjacent to the university and other high tech companies, that has seen a resurgence of business due to an influx of talent into the area. The adjacency to the university and the close collaboration will allow for further innovation and growth,” said Martin Verhoef, Vice President of Strategy and New Product Generation, Molecular Devices.

Located within walking distance of the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, the new facility will enhance the collaboration with the community. “Cooperating with Molecular Devices is most welcome because we want to offer our students the possibility to apply theoretical knowledge in practice.
