We have upgraded the Quality Management System of the company, which is now certified according to the latest standard: ISO 9001:2015. This would never have been possible without the good involvement of all personal and a good leadership of our Quality Manager, Jimmy Kjellén. Thank you all for this very good job!
A warm thank you to all the distributors, who participated in our Distributor Meeting in Stenungsund on October 12-13. It was nice for us to share with the network the good development of the Dilucup System and the growth of the sales in all markets. Special thanks to Sean who made a very nice picture of all of us.
The North American market discovered the Dilucup 3 years ago, when it was launched, for the first time ourtside Europe, in Canada. Today, the Dilucup Elegance made a step further in this continent and was launched in the USA. To make it possible, LabRobot Products signed a distribution agreement with Hardy Diagnostics, a company based in Santa Maria, California.
Hardy Diagnostics is an FDA licensed and ISO 13485 certified manufacturer of medical devices for microbiological procedures in both clinical and industrial laboratories. Hardy Diagnostics manufactures over 2,700 different products for the culture and identification of bacteria and fungi. Among its offerings are products used to culture and detect pathogens commonly reported in the news, such as E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, MRSA, and Influenza. In addition, the company manufactures reagents and media for use by molecular biology researchers. Over 9,000 laboratories throughout the nation rely on Hardy Diagnostics for their supplies. Hardy Diagnostics employs over 350 people and maintains nine distribution centers throughout the USA. Manufacturing takes place at its headquarters in Santa Maria and at a recently opened facility in Springboro, Ohio.
With such organisation, LabRobot has got the perfect partner for a rapid and successful introduction of the Dilucup System in the USA. Will the Dilucup Elegance soon be the preferred method for serial dilutions in the country? It’s still a dream today, let’s hope that it becomes reality.

On November 1-3, 2016 the Dilucup Elegance was presented on the booth of our Danish distributor (Holm & Halby A/S) at FoodTech 2016 in Herning (DK). It gaves a good opportunity to the visitors to learn more about the new design and features of this new generation of Dilucup. Thanks to the success of Holm & Halby, Denmark is currently the biggest market of Dilucup in Europe. Who could guess that this small territory (if we forget Greenland of course) is consuming so many pallets of Dilucup?
On Monday August 15, we received our new company signs. Thanks to them, truck drivers and visitors can find our new building easily .
For most of the Dilucup articles, the stock of the previous version is now empty. It’s time for the Dilucup Elegance to take over.
We started to release Dilucup Elegance boxes just after our holidays. On the picture taken on August 9, you can see the first large order ready to leave Stenungsund on it’s way to Transia GmbH, our German distributor. Happy German customers, who will be the first to discover the features of the Dilucup Elegance.
On March 16, 2016, AddLife became an independent listed company. AddLife, founded in June 2015, was the corporatisation of the Life Science business area in the Addtech group. Through its heritage from Addtech, and before that Bergman & Beving, AddLife has a history that dates back more than 100 years. LabRobot Products, which was belonging to Addtech since July 2007, is now part of AddLife.
In 2014, we offered to our Dilucup customers the possibility to close the Dilucup aluminium bags with a plastic zipper, in order to get an optimal storage of the Dilucups in the fridge.
Everybody having tried to use it knows how difficult it is to close the bag perfectly, and only customers having a great patience are able to achieve it.
Starting with batch 1030, we have now introduced a new type of aluminium bag closing with a hook and loop fastener (“Velcro like”). With such improvement, to close the Dilucup bags will not be tedious any longer.
Monday October 12, 2015 was an historic day for LabRobot. Indeed, we produced our 1000th batch since we moved the production to Stenungsund in 2009. This is a milestone in the quick development of LabRobot and our Dilucup system. Moreover, we have just ordered a new production line to be started in new premises during the spring 2016.
We are happy to inform you that we have appointed a new distributor in Spain.
If you are in Spain and interested in our unique method for serial dilutions in food microbiology, please contact Bioser in Barcelona. Bioser has a wide presence in all Spanish regions and the Dilucup is completing very well its current range of modern methods for food quality control.

Dilucup was initially distributed in Spain by Nirco s.l. but the new strategy of this company did not allow any further collaboration.
