CambTEK (Cambridge, UK) has appointed Pragolab s.r.o. (Prague, Czech Republic) to be their exclusive partner within the Czech and Slovak Republics. Under the agreement, Pragolab will be responsible for sales and service of the CambTEK Rapid Extraction System (RES) throughout the regions, while adding value to customers with their in- depth knowledge, a range of complementary products, and additional services.

CambTEK launched the Rapid Extraction System (RES) to address important strategic drivers within the pharmaceutical and food industries, to improve quality and reduce overheads, and deliver greater value from analytical testing of solid dose forms. The RES delivers a step change in performance for sample preparation for a wide range of solid products, including the ‘hard to extract’ controlled release products.

Tony Hawkins, Marketing & Communications Director at CambTEK, said, “Pragolab has over 20 years of relevant experience within the sample preparation and laboratory instrumentation industry, and we were particularly impressed by their breadth of knowledge and market penetration. Having diverse business interests within not just the pharmaceutical sector potentially opens up new markets for us, for example, within education, healthcare, agriculture, and within the wider chemical industry. We have every confidence that Pragolab is the perfect partner to promote and support our products throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and to highlight the manifold advantages of the revolutionary Rapid Extraction System to our new and existing customers. We are delighted to be working with them.”

Ladislav Namestek, CEO of Pragolab, said, “We are always looking for new, innovative products that suit our portfolio. The CambTEK RES system seems to be the right product for us. It complements our core product lines and allows us to expand our automation division.”
