40 years of excellence in automation

Since 1967 Mr. Thomas Astle has been the visionary force behind this Connecticut based laboratory automation company. With the successful launch of the industry`s first automat microliter liquid-handing workstation in 1968 (which automated serology and virology detection processes - the predecessor of ELISA), Tomtec has been at the forefront of Bioanalytical automation.

Tomtec continues to conceptualize, develop, and manufacturing new instruments with a focus on accelerating life science work-flows at the highest possible value. As an example, in 2013 Tomtec took the leadership role in advancing the art of dried blood spot (DBS) bio-sampling. Working with both global and government agencies and leading clinical labs we have developed a suite of automated solutions that conforms with the Good Laboratory Practices work-flow.

Determination and focus

As a private family-owned business, Tomtec has the unique luxury of being able to focus on long term strategies that align with our customers` visions. This means that we can take a posture of listening and assessing customer requirements, allowing us to work in concert with our customers to develop solutions that accelerate their work-flows today.

One example of this vision is our continued long-term investment in the art of dried blood spot (DBS) bio-sampling. Today Tomtec is significantly ahead of the curve in understanding and automating the work-flows associated with this technology. With a substantial monetary and staffing investment in DBS bio-sampling technology, Tomtec is leveraging its four-decades of intellectual investment in automated liquid handling and applying that IP to automating DBS with state-of-the-art technology and best in class Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
