Health/Medical Writers FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BW HealthWire)--June 18, 1998-- PerSeptive Biosystems POROS(R) Chromatography Media Manufacturing Plant Certified A Perkin-Elmer (NYSE:PKN) manufacturing plant in Cambridge, MA has achieved ISO 9002 registration. The plant, commissioned by Perkin-Elmer's PerSeptive Biosystems unit in January 1996, manufactures chromatography media and columns used for research scale separation of biomolecules and bulk media used in biotherapeutic manufacturing applications. The products are sold worldwide under the POROS trademark. The registration process, through TUV Management Services, began last summer and was completed with a successful audit at the end of the year. "This registration is a major milestone in the development of our POROS media business and is confirmation of our long-standing commitment to quality and customer service," said Erik Wallden, vice president of the PerSeptive BioSeparations Business Unit. "ISO registration is especially critical for the growth of our POROS process chromatography media business. Another major milestone was achieved recently when the first commercial process incorporating POROS media was granted FDA approval," continued Wallden. "The efforts of many people went into our accomplishing this certification in near record time," stated Steve Curran, director of POROS manufacturing. "Our historical emphasis on quality and quality systems was developed jointly with our GMP-compliant customers and contributed greatly to the speed with which we accomplished our goal. In my experience, plants such as ours often take a year or more to achieve registration. I commend all the individuals who made this achievement possible." The Perkin-Elmer Corporation, headquartered in Connecticut, is a leading supplier of systems for life science research and related applications. The company develops, manufactures, and markets life science systems and analytical instruments used in markets such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, environmental testing, food, agriculture, and chemical manufacturing. Perkin-Elmer had revenues of approximately $1.4 billion in fiscal year 1997 and employs 6,000 people worldwide.
