BioTX operates in three market segments, Lab Products, Custom Automation and Marketing Tools.

In addition, this segment provides custom engineering and instrument integration services. We have developed robotic tooling for blood card punching and Petri dish plating. The Marketing Tools segment offers an on-line web based searchable database of life sciences researchers, as well as researcher lists by keyword and emailing services for companies that sell to life science researchers.
