Recent Developments in the Korea Centrifugation Market

In April 2023, Eppendorf, a prominent life science company, unveiled the Centrifuge 5427 R, marking the introduction of Eppendorf's inaugural microcentrifuge equipped with hydrocarbon cooling. This innovation contributes to fostering a more sustainable laboratory environment. Through this advancement, users had the capability to conduct a diverse range of molecular and cell biology applications using a refrigerated device that incorporated a natural cooling agent boasting a nearly zero Global Warming Potential (GWP). The primary goal was to safeguard both samples and the planet.
In February 2022, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences introduced its most versatile 3-liter benchtop centrifuge to date, the Allegra V-15R refrigerated centrifuge. It featured 10 rotor configurations and 50 programmable runs, along with a comprehensive array of adapters, allowing for a wide range of workflows and applications. These capabilities extended from cell and blood separation to high-throughput screening.
In March 2020, Eppendorf AG and Koki Holdings Co., Ltd., reached an agreement in which Eppendorf acquired Koki's centrifuge business, encompassing the premium himac brand. A formal agreement was signed by both companies in Tokyo. This acquisition strategically expanded the centrifuge business of Hamburg-based Eppendorf AG, reinforcing its strong market standing as a leading global manufacturer of high-end centrifuges for the pharmaceutical and life science sectors, along with academic and commercial research.
