We are keen on maintaining close ties with our customers and other stakeholders. To this end, we have redesigned and expanded our web presence (www.prionics.com) and at the same time optimized its usability. The websites of our affiliates have also been revamped, providing more local information for the South and North American markets, the Benelux and Nordic regions as well as Germany and Italy

Another important renewal is the launch of Prionics Lelystad, our 5^th branch office world wide. With the operational launch of Prionics Lelystad, we strengthening our position in Europe by targeting the Benelux and Nordic markets.

Keeping close ties with customers and leading industry experts is also the reason for our active presence at scientific events, such as the recent Prion 2007 conference where Prionics participated with a booth and scientific presentation. Read more in this issue of eScope about important trends in the development of a diagnostic test for human blood.

Furthermore, we are proud to sponsor the International Colloquium on Paratuberculosis at the end of October 2007 in Japan. The scientific program of this top level meeting covers key aspects of paratuberculosis research. Prionics will report on the use of PARACHEK^® for efficient, cost effective and reliable surveillance of cattle herds using either serum or milk samples.

eScope is an essential tool for staying in touch with you. We greatly appreciate and rely on your feedback to create a newsletter that you value reading.
