Kbiosystems

Kbiosystems is a UK-based laboratory automation and life science tools company focused on designing and manufacturing instruments for research and diagnostic laboratory workflows. Its product portfolio includes automated microplate sealers and handlers, nitrogen blowdown evaporators, colony picking systems, barcode label applicators, PCR thermal cycler automation, consumables, and custom robotic automation systems. The company serves biotechnology, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and broader life science laboratory customers rather than developing therapeutics. Kbiosystems has operated for more than three decades and is now part of Porvair's laboratory/life sciences group following its acquisition by Porvair in February 2021. The business remains active and commercial, with its value proposition centered on improving laboratory throughput, workflow reliability, and sample processing efficiency.
