SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - March 31, 2011) -

Biocompare, an online B2B media company for the life science industry, today announced the launch of version 1.0 of its Rapid Automated Product Insertion and Deletion (RAPID) system.

The RAPID system allows Biocompare to more quickly and accurately keep supplier product information up-to-date. With more improvements to come, this first version will greatly speed up product update times and keep Biocompare in sync with supplier product catalogs. It also automatically identifies new products, and removes discontinued products. “We are always looking for ways to innovate and advance our service and website,” said Andy Miller, Chief Technology Officer for Biocompare. “This system revolutionizes the way products are updated on Biocompare, and ultimately betters product discovery for scientists.”

Biocompare’s product directory contains close to two million life science products ranging from antibodies and instruments, to laboratory equipment, from hundreds of suppliers. “At Biocompare, we are focused on providing scientists with the most comprehensive and up-to-date life science product information,” said Jimothy Fahrni, General Manager of Biocompare. “We are very excited about the new RAPID system and continuing to improve the service we provide to both manufacturers and life scientists.”
