In January, Reagecon embarked on a major Research and Development initiative. We have a significant product pipeline under development, which is currently being rolled out to the market place. For example, in July 2011, we launched two new related families of products: Ready to Use Dissolution Media and Dissolution Media Concentrates. This was followed in August 2011, by a new range of United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Ready to Use Solutions.

In line with our strategic objective of one product launch per month, we now have available a new range of Ready to Use Buffer Eluents for users of HPLC and LC Instrumentation. All three families of products are produced either precisely to USP, EP or JP requirements, or taken directly from the Solutions/Test Solutions section of the USP with no deviation in materials or methodology. They are manufactured under controlled conditions, tested traceable to primary standards where appropriate and fully certified with guaranteed lot to lot consistency and reproducibility. Overall, our objective is to offer you a suite of products, that are completely compliant but which will also enable you to make substantial savings in your laboratory.

Reagecon are happy to announce that we have taken on four students for work experience placements for a 6 month period.

This is the third year we have taken on students from GMIT as part of their Degree program. For the sixth year in a row we are also taking part in the Leonardo Program which gives international students the opportunity to learn English and gain relevant work experience. This experience gives these students a real opportunity to gain valuable experience to bridge the gap between study and the beginning of their working lives.

Reagecon's Technical Director John O’Keeffe has just been elected a committee member of the American Society of Testing and Measuring (ASTM) for the physical characteristics and testing of oils. This is a great honour for Reagecon and John hopes that his experience and expertise in Chemical Metrology will bring great value to the work of the ASTM.
