ACES is a first-of-its-kind initiative for Caliper as a major manufacturerof automation and liquid handling equipment. With consolidation among industrymanufacturers and a decline in the number of integration firms, customers havefaced increasingly limited options for integrating their new and existingautomation technologies. At the same time, mergers in the biotech andpharmaceutical industry have resulted in volumes of excess, unused automationequipment. Other global manufacturers have generally rejected a vendor-neutralapproach to integration, and smaller, regional companies are simply unable tosupply the necessary support. Caliper stands alone in its ability to fulfillcustomers' needs, simultaneously advancing its liquid handling and automationtechnologies while accommodating the reality of today's laboratory.
