COLLABORATE WITH US
Unlike most medical device manufacturers, Giles Scientific (Santa Barbara, California, USA) does not sell proprietary consumables. BIOMIC V3 and TRINITY V3 are open systems utilizing digital imaging to automate the reading and interpretation of consumables from a variety of other manufacturers. For this reason, Giles Scientific has evolved through constant collaboration from customers, distributors, regulators, and other companies. We offer licensing agreements (see examples below), consultation, and custom software applications to enhance your current product and improve time to market for new AST systems.
