BioTek Completes Expansion

Life science instrumentation developer BioTek Instruments Inc. has completed a $4.5 million facility expansion and renovation.

The 22,000-sq-ft expansion is supporting the company’s growth by providing 33 percent more manufacturing space. The project also includes a new 1400-sq-ft training facility for new and existing employees.

“BioTek is a working example of how a high-technology company can make its home here in Vermont and compete with and win against top companies located anywhere in the world,” said Vermont Governor Phil Scott.

“In short, we are building tools that are unlocking the mysteries of life and we are doing this from right here in Vermont,” said Briar Alpert, president and CEO of BioTek.

BioTek Instruments is a designer, manufacturer and distributor of cell imaging systems, microplate readers, washers, dispensers, automated incubators, stackers and pipetting systems.
