Symrise BioActives manufactures highly purified esculin, which Gee Lawson supplies to the diagnostics industry.
Esculin is used in microbiology culture media to reliably identify contamination from species such as streptococci and listeria, and so can be used to monitor food and water as well as the clinical testing of patients.
“With Gee Lawson as our partner, we can reach all of the major diagnostics customers,” said Stephan Hillers, MD of Symrise BioActives in Hamburg. “Their market expertise and contact with culture media manufacturers perfectly complement Symrise BioActives’ experience in producing highly enriched plant extracts.”
“Thanks to the cooperation with Symrise BioActives, our customers produce a range of quality culture media which are reliably used across a wide area of diagnostics,” said Jonathan Shorts, MD of Gee Lawson. “We want to continue our cooperation and find additional applications for the products from Symrise BioActives.”
