Long description

AP Materials is an early stage advanced materials company that develops and produces a new class of materials, called nanopowders, in a patent-protected process. The Company produces nano-powders with the potential of superior purity and structure and significantly less oxide than other powders at a lower cost of production. This unique, demonstrated technology is of great potential interest to a wide range of markets. Over the past four years the Company has been developing its technology to demonstrate the feasibility of commercial production of numerous ceramic and metal nano-powders on the basis of the broad capability of their process technology.

Currently APM is in the final development of it first planned commercially available nano-powderTantalum (Ta), which is sold to the manufacturers of capacitors (market size ~$300,000,000). The most recent Tantalum nano-powders produced in APMЧ’s reactors are equal to or exceed the highest quality powders being produced by conventional means. Over the next year, while APM continues to improve the quality of its powders it intends to ship sample quantities to potential customers. The Company expects to ramp up to full production by the end of 2003.

Darwin Chambers is best known for environmental chambers , incubators, stability chambers and custom innovative solutions for specific environmental test chamber applications. Low temperature incubation chambers that don't have defrost cycles (large temperature spikes), active dehumidification units, and thermoelectric cooling and heating incubators are some of our latest products. Of course, like our competition, we offer a wide range of temperature and humidity controlled environmental chambers and incubators. However, we can also control temperatures and humidity in tighter increments for demanding applications where competitors may not have a suitable answer.

Kereos' targeted therapeutics and molecular imaging agents will enable clinicians to both diagnose disease in situ via definitive molecular markers and to deliver therapeutics exclusively to diseased tissue using those same biomarkers. In combination, they represent the most direct route to saving lives by exploiting the rapid advance of molecular medicine.

Using imaging agents driven by our knowledge of molecular biology, physicians will be able to peer non-invasively into a patient and detect disease with much the same precision as previously possible with biopsy and clinical pathology, and to do so on a whole body basis. Targeted therapeutics based on these same discoveries will allow the physician to treat disease specifically, effectively and with fewer side effects. Ultimately, molecular imaging and targeted therapy will be used in combination to diagnose, screen patients for appropriate therapy, deliver a quantifiable dose of effective therapy and monitor response. Kereos is one of the first companies to recognize these opportunities and is developing products that deliver on these promises… today.

Labconco Corporation, or Laboratory Construction Company as it was first named, was founded in 1925 by Ralph Callaway and Phil Goldfisch. The company's first product was a Kjeldahl Nitrogen Determination Apparatus, which agricultural laboratories used to test the protein content of feeds and grains. From humble beginnings as a one-product shop in a small garage in downtown Kansas City, Labconco stretched its legs and today employs over 200 associates at facilities in two locations and manufactures 16 different product lines.

Labconco is an ISO 9001 certified company which prides itself on the quality of our people and products. Labconco products adhere to high standards including ETL and NSF Standard 49.
