Biosan

🎉 Today, Biosan turns 34.🎉

On 27 April 1992, two scientists from the Institute of Microbiology at the Latvian Academy of Sciences Dr. Vasily Bankovsky and Svetlana Bankovska founded a small enterprise in Riga with a clear belief: laboratory equipment should be precise, reliable, and built around the needs of the researcher.

Thirty-four years later, more than 376,000 customers in more than 124 countries rely on Biosan equipment. Our portfolio covers more than 80 devices across four categories: general lab equipment, bioprocessing, molecular diagnostics, and immunodiagnostics. From sample mixing, shaking, centrifugation, and incubation to cell cultivation, nucleic acid isolation, and photometry, our devices support research in genomics, proteomics, and cellomics. Quality is embedded in everything we do: ISO 9001:2015 certified since 2004, ISO 13485:2016 certified since 2022, and ISO 14001:2015 certified since 2025.

Looking back at the journey:
➔ 1992 — Founded by Dr. Vasily Bankovsky and Svetlana Bankovska
➔ 1995 — First international exhibition, Biotechnica'95; first global partnerships
➔ 1996 — "Bioform" design concept introduced; dealership network grows to 10 countries
➔ 2003 — 40 international dealers worldwide
➔ 2004 — "World of Biotechnomica" strategy launched; strategic partnership with Grant Instruments, UK; ISO 9001 certification
➔ 2012 — Launch of RTS-1 with patented Reverse Spin® technology
➔ 2015 — Red Jackets Award: Top 25 Exporting Brands in Latvia
➔ 2016 — First complete automated NA extraction system, Biomagpure 12
➔ 2020 — Stable partner to 100+ countries throughout the COVID-19 pandemic
➔ 2021 — Production capacity doubled to meet global demand
➔ 2025 — Renewed brand identity; ISO 14001:2015 certification
➔ 2026 — A new chapter: Royston Instruments acquires a controlling stake in Biosan

None of this would have been possible without the researchers who trust our products, the partners who help us reach every corner of the world, and the team that shows up every day committed to getting the details right.

Dear clients and partners,
Please note that our office will be closed from 1 to 4 May due to national holidays.
We will reopen on 5 May and respond to your messages as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding!

A sincere thank you to our partner Cold Spring Biotech Corp for presenting Biosan at AAMLS 2026 (Asia Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists).

We always truly appreciate receiving exhibition photos from our partners and seeing Biosan presented in different parts of the world. It is a meaningful reminder of the partnerships that help bring our equipment closer to laboratory professionals every day.

Thank you for your trust, support, and partnership.

It’s World Laboratory Day.

Today, we recognize the people whose work upholds the standards behind modern medicine, science, and healthcare every single day. Your professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication ensure the quality and reliability of the processes laboratories depend on.

At Biosan, we see every day how important precise, consistent laboratory work is. That is why we develop equipment that supports dependable performance in daily routines and demanding applications alike, from thermo-shakers and centrifuges to densitometers, PCR cabinets, and bioreactors.

To all laboratory professionals: we wish you consistent results, accurate measurements, and confidence in the value of your contribution. May your work continue to bring satisfaction, progress, and new opportunities for professional growth.

Happy World Laboratory Day from Biosan.

PSU-10i Orbital Shaker - Extended Speed Range for your most demanding applications 💙
Single change. Significant impact. Minimum speed extended from 50 RPM to 20 RPM. Same 10 mm orbit. Same incubator and cold-room compatibility. The expanded range now covers low-end, e.g., ISO 3071:2020 requires pH testing in textiles to be conducted at 30 rpm, a segment the previous range could not serve.
Available from May. Pre-orders are open.
Contact your Biosan manager for full details.

Neliels ieskats Latvijas Elektrotehnikas un elektronikas rūpniecības asociācija LETERA biedru sapulcē, kas šogad norisinājās RTU Datorzinātnes, informācijas tehnoloģijas un enerģētikas fakultātē, kur Biosan pārstāvēja Deniss Beleckis un Krista Kānberga-Siliņa. 💙

Šis pasākums bija vērtīgs ne tikai nozares dialogam, bet arī kā iespēja satikt citus nozares profesionāļus, stiprināt kontaktus un iepazīties ar topošajiem elektronikas un inženierijas speciālistiem no Latvijas izglītības iestādēm.

Tieši šādās tikšanās reizēs vislabāk redzams, ka spēcīga elektronikas nozare veidojas tur, kur satiekas uzņēmumi, zinātne un jaunie talanti. Biosan kā laboratorijas iekārtu izstrādātājam un ražotājam tas ir īpaši svarīgi, nākotnes inovācijas sākas ar sarunām, sadarbību un spēju jau šodien ieraudzīt rītdienas profesionāļus.

Tāpat paldies LETERA komandai par apsveikumu Biosan kā jau vairāk nekā 30 gadus nozarē strādājošam uzņēmumam un par labi organizētu un vērtīgu pasākumu ! 😊

School children’s Shadow Day at Biosan - meet the future experts!

Every year, we welcome children to our office to explore different professions, share our expertise across various processes, and show them how exciting and limitless the possibilities are in the captivating world of laboratory instrumentation.

During the day, they explored different departments, including Product development, manufacturing, QC, sales, marketing, and after-sales support, and got into the processes behind our products.

Shadow Day is a valuable opportunity to spend a day alongside professionals, gain insight into the working environment, and discover potential future career paths.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our colleagues for their engagement and inspiration!

See you next year!

🔬 For several years, we have been preparing for this moment, and today we are proud to see it become a reality.

The opening of a microbial laboratory equipped with Biosan products at the RSU Institute of Microbiology and Virology is an important milestone for our team. It creates new opportunities for high-level microbiological research using our equipment in real laboratory conditions, strengthens the connection between science and industry, and supports innovation in Latvia. 🇱🇻

At the same time, this collaboration allows our team to receive direct feedback, test our equipment in everyday laboratory work, and continuously improve our solutions to meet the needs of modern laboratories. 🧪

We are proud to contribute to an environment where research, practical application, and innovation come together. 🤝
