美國Stovall Life Science
Stovall公司由畢業于維吉尼亞大學的細胞生物學專業的高才生獨自創辦于1987年,20年以來,Stovall一直專注于生命科學實驗室產品的研究開發,特別是與雜交有關的產品(涉及Northern,Southern,Western以及點雜交等)的研發,可謂“科學家為科學家設計儀器”。至今,該公司的產品享譽世界,而明星產品Belly Dancer更有10000多臺落戶各大知名實驗室,為生命科學的發展進步默默的奉獻!
該司產品還有螺旋振蕩器、水浴雜交反應器、迷你螺旋振蕩器、往復式振蕩搖擺器、雜交爐等等。另外該司在2004年還推出專利產品用于細胞膜方面研究,命名為FlowCell。
Several years after the beginning of Stovall Life Science in 1989, we adopted the slogan "Pragmatic Tools for Able Minds" as the summary of the company’s mission and guide for all products created for molecular and cell biologists. This slogan even informs our promotional giveaways -merging the useful with the ornamental - for scientific meetings and product fairs. This guide also reflects in an unusual way the relation Stovall has with its able minded customers.
From the beginning through the present day Stovall has depended upon customers for many ideas which became products. The Belly Dancer? and its family of products (Belly Button? & Belly Bath) was developed by a scientist at the University of Virginia; the Flow Cell products originated at the University of Tennessee; the Hi/Lo Profile Rocker came from the University of California; the automated Western Blot apparatus had its beginning at Vanderbilt University. The bench scientist addresses daily the difficulties and impediments to efficient and effective laboratory tools. Some scientists have a practical imagination to address these impediments with pragmatic ideas. Stovall Life Science looks to those imaginative scientists for new products, those pragmatic tools which come from able minds.
Twenty years ago the graduate students at The University of Virginia beta site observed an oddly behaving bench top shaker whose platform undulated in three dimensions rather than the usual two dimensions of other lab shakers. The students spontaneously baptized this shaker The Belly Dancer? and it has been so known ever since. A few years ago a Japanese shaker manufacturer described in brochures the movement of one of its instruments as having "a Belly Dancer motion," thus confirming that the combination of student intuition and Stovall marketing had contributed a new phrase to the scientific lexicon, and one not reduced to an acronym.
