Blog posts are essential for any company that wants to highlight their science and market the relevant products. I’ve created news items describing the science and advances related to LUMICKS’ biotechnological instruments C-Trap, m-Trap, and z-Movi. The news items introduce the readers to the respective devices, their successful installations at research sites, and the latest achievement in various fields.
Below, you’ll find a list with links to news items I prepared while working with the marketing team at LUMICKS. Contact me for more information about my blogging and general content creation.
