About us About us Product Portfolio Company values Code of conduct Research & Development Quality Management Energy Management Environmental Management History Sales organisations RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Strength from tradition – passion for the future Every day we work towards making a sustainable contribution to improving healthcare worldwide. This idea was once the origin of our family business, founded in 1961, and it is still the constant central motif of all our actions today. For each of our employees, which total more than 2,900 worldwide, it is a personal objective to take our idea from Nümbrecht out into the world. Power for progress Since our company’s foundation, we have placed great value on research and development. In order to detect future trends and determine the needs of our customers, we are in continuous dialogue with the users in medicine and science. In our own development centre, we actively advance innovations from the initial idea through to the finished product. Progress through innovation There are many examples of our forward-looking product solutions. The development of the S-Monovette® enabled a revolution in blood collection. The innovative system combines two techniques in one product. As required, the user can select either the so-called aspiration or the vacuum technique – flexible, safe and patient friendly. The safe handling of the smallest volumes of samples in the laboratory has also been increased through the invention of the Micro Tubes with screw cap. Promotion of science We continuously engage in new ideas beyond our own development work. Among other things, we support ground-breaking methodological and analytical methods which generate new findings in life sciences and medicine. For us, this support is based on a long tradition, the foundations of which were laid as early as 1986 when the SARSTEDT Research Prize was awarded for the first time. In the years that followed, this prize for DM 50,000 was awarded six times to international scientists. Since 2008, we have been sole supporter of the renowned Research Prize for Biochemical Analysis awarded by the German Society for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Klinische Chemie und Laboratoriumsmedizin, DGKL) with a contribution of EUR 50,000. The prize has been awarded for the past 40 years for outstanding scientific achievements in the field of biochemical and molecular analysis.
