Bio-Works Technologies AB has signed an exclusive distributor agreement with Biotop Oy regarding Finland. Under the agreement, Biotop Oy will market, sell and distribute WorkBeads, Bio-Work's next generation protein purification products, to its customers. Biotop thus has access to a competitive product catalog for the purification of a wide range of biomolecules.
"Biotop is well established and known for its focus on innovative products for the research and diagnostics market. This makes them a perfect partner for Bio-Works and we are very happy to welcome them onboard”, says Jonathan Royce, CEO of Bio-Works.
"Particularly exciting is that Biotops offer their products not only through direct sales, but also through "Bioshops", physical stores in strategic locations in Finland, where Bio-Works products will be available directly of the shelf."

“This agreement equips us with a linear scale-up, from process validation to commercial- and GMP-manufacturing.”
For over a decade, Bio-Works has focused on setting up collaborations with local distributors in Europe, USA and Asia. The establishment of Biotop Oy as a local distributor in Finland aligns well with the company strategy to support customers with local resources.
