sphingotec GmbH aims to develop diagnostic methods for prediction, prevention, intervention strategies and early treatment of diseases in the fields of cancer, cardiovascular diseases and kidney function. In order to realize this mission we provide biomarkers indicating susceptibility for a specific disease which enables the monitoring of prevention and intervention strategies. The company was established in 2002 by Dr. Andreas Bergmann who is one of the founders and managers of B.R.A.H.M.S. Aktiengesellschaft where, in addition to several other biomarkers, the sepsis marker Procalcitonin (B.R.A.H.M.S PCT®) was developed in his role as Chief Research Officer. This biomarker Procalcitonin created a new diagnostic standard of care supporting patient management in sepsis. sphingotec is located in Hennigsdorf, northwest of Berlin, Germany, with its facilities in the Technology Campus one of the largest industrial parks in Berlin and Brandenburg with several companies of the biotechnology branch located there.

STEMCELL Technologies Inc. is a Canadian biotechnology company that develops specialty cell culture media, cell isolation systems and accessory products for life science research. Driven by science and a passion for quality, STEMCELL supports the advancement of scientific research around the world with our catalogue of more than 2000 cell biology research tools. STEMCELL Technologies was launched in 1993 when founder and CEO Allen Eaves needed a way to meet the increasing demands for his standardized, cost-effective cell culture media for growing blood-forming stem cells. At the time, Eaves was a hematologist and cancer researcher heading the Terry Fox Laboratories (TFL) and head of clinical hematology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Unsatisfied with commercially available cell culture reagents, Eaves' research group at the TFL began making their own hematopoietic stem cell culture media using the highest quality materials they could find. Colleagues also wanted to use this media, and Eaves was able to supplement his research funds by selling culture media to other lab groups. Eventually the demand for the media from researchers around the world warranted building a designated clean room for production. The TFL did not have the funding and instead, Eaves was encouraged to purchase the business and create an independent company. Mortgaging his house and receiving a loan from Western Economic Diversification, Eaves was able to build a clean room and STEMCELL Technologies Inc. was born on July 2, 1993. STEMCELL has become the largest biotech company in Canada and continues to reinvest all profits back into developing products to better support the international research community. As of 2017, the company employs more than 1000 people globally, with over one-third of those holding a PhD or MSc, and the majority of employees having a BSc or Engineering degree. A large number of the company's employees are located in Vancouver, Canada with additional employees and facilities in 11 other countries.

When Chicago Laboratory Supply and Scale Company was founded in 1886, few could have predicted that more than 125 years and one name change later, it would still be supplying the world's scientists with the highest-quality instruments available.
