Medical Facility Supply to Asan Institute of Life Science
AMC is a major customer of Daeil Tech Co., Ltd., our local agent. Daeil has built up a strong relationship with AMC over time through prompt after-sales services and regular checks at the medical facilities.
The Asan Institute of Life Science recently established a new research laboratory that employs 540 clinical doctors and 760 medical scientists involved in the biological industry and life sciences. The laboratory aims to develop new
medicines competitive in the global market as well as various diagnostic and treatment methods.
The institute has made large purchases of MDF-U700VX (latest model: MDF-DU702VX) and MCO-19AIC (latest model: MCO-170AIC) units. Since two independent cooling systems are mounted on MDF-U700VX, the risk of samples being spoiled during any equipment failure or emergency is minimized. With our unique sterilization function that uses hydrogen peroxide, the MCO-19AIC eliminates contamination and abnormal CO2 concentration worries. Daeil Tech and we will make the maximum efforts to meet the institute’s expectations.
