TUSTIN, Calif., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Franek Technologies, Inc., the leader in certified Category III-3 Laboratory Battery Backup Power Protection Systems (LPS/UPS), has been selected to protect the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Biotechnology Center's $250K investment in forensic science and microbiology analysis equipment. With Franek Technologies' instrumentation-specific power protection solutions, the UNLV Biotechnology Center is now 100% protected against power fluctuations or failure that could otherwise cause costly damage to instrumentation and significant lost productive time.
Based on the recommendations of Applied Biosystems and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, and verified by the electrical engineering specialists contracted to design the center, the UNLV Biotechnology Center installed 5 Franek Technologies' power protection systems to protect the center's genetic analysis and DNA amplification instrumentation. Since the center's success relies upon providing hands-on training and excellent instruction, it is imperative that the instrumentation used in the training remains viable at all times. With the power protection provided by Franek Technologies, the center has avoided the risk of losing expensive instrumentation or valuable time due to substandard power.
"Category III-3 instrumentation-grade laboratory battery backup power protection is something extra you need when dealing with sensitive instrumentation," explained Dr. Walter Goldstein, Coordinator of the UNLV Biotechnology Center. "Franek Technologies' systems protect our extensive investment in equipment, as well as our time. The people attending our training should have the best experience possible, and we can't afford to have our instrumentation knocked out in the middle of a seminar. We're not only protecting our investment, but also our reputation. It's just good business sense."
Since installation, the Biotechnology Center experienced a brief power outage that, without the power protection provided by Franek Technologies, could have been devastating. "Our investment in Franek Technologies' systems has nearly paid for itself with this single outage," added Goldstein.
Franek Technologies' certified solutions currently protect over $3 billion globally, including installed genetic, immunoassay, and DNA analysis systems used in bioterrorism defense and mitigation, as well as forensic analyses at the: NIH, CDC, DoC/NOAA, DoD, DoE, DoJ, FBI, FDA, USDA and US Army's Aberdeen and Dugway Proving Grounds, as well as numerous international government agencies.
