ARRAYJET, the biomedical company, has begun work on developing its next generation of bio-printing technological solutions.
Following a recent over-subscribed founding round the Midlothian business has hired seven new recruits across its science, engineering and commercial units, taking staff levels to 25. Three additional engineering roles will be created later in 2017.
Arrayjet specialises in microarray technology, which enhances drug discovery programs and other life science research strategies.
The company said that ahead of the new product launch in 2018, it would continue to expand and grow its international sales development pipeline, which has seen it enter 27 countries.
Arrayjet works with leading university research and biomedical research institutes to increase the accuracy, speed and throughput of drug discovery sampling, using its range of instrumentation.
Iain McWilliam, chief executive officer, Arrayjet, said: “A recent heavily oversubscribed round of funding via Archangel Investment Syndicate and a strong year on year 25 per cent revenue growth is testament to our proven ability to develop and nurture new business.
“An appetite for new business and a belief in our business model underpinned 2016 as a year in which we continued a programme of successful expansion. Arrayjet is on a very sound footing as a profitable, expanding, Scottish-based and international player in the biomedical sector.”
Mike Rutterford from Archangel called Arrayjet “one of the shining beacons within the Scottish life sciences industry”, adding that its expansion plans underlined “just how vital this business is to the life sciences landscape in Scotland”.
Why are you making commenting on HeraldScotland only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
