On April 22, 2025, AnalytiChem, a German manufacturer of specialized laboratory equipment, reagents, and consumables, announced the global launch of Redipor, a ready-to-use culture media, as an AnalytiChem-branded product line. The product line builds on three well-known brands: BioTrading, Redipor by Cherwell, and NEL. Under the newly introduced Redipor line, these products are brought together into one global brand. Redipor-prepared culture media offers microbiologists across the life sciences industry the ability to meet their stringent standards and compliance needs, according to a company press release (1).

The Redipor range offers high-quality, customized, ready-to-use media products for supporting critical applications in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, environmental, and healthcare sectors. The portfolio carries a collection of media, batch sizes, and packaging options, including plates, bottles, tubes, and vials. It also includes chromogenic and irradiated media as well as universal operator broth transfer kits, all of which can be tailored toward specific customer needs and regulations.

“Redipor is a global brand that represents our commitment to unwavering quality and reliability, in terms of product, supply, and, ultimately, customer test results,” said Dennis Scheepmaker, global segment leader, Life Sciences, AnalytiChem, in the press release (1). “We understand that microbiologists across the life sciences industry rely on precision, consistency, and convenience. Through our wealth of expertise in ready-prepared culture media and local markets, we can partner closely with our customers to ensure smooth workflows for critical applications and deliver total confidence in test results.”

Redipor products are manufactured in AnalytiChem’s state-of-the-art, ISO 9001:2015 certified production facilities in The Netherlands, United Kingdom, and United States. The manufacturing processes across all three media manufacturing facilities are adaptable, which enables the company to produce tailored batch sizes, formulations, and packaging solutions.

“As a quality-assured prepared media offering, developed and produced in parallel by BioTrading, NEL, and Cherwell, the products within the Redipor by AnalytiChem range have been serving the pharmaceutical manufacturing, clinical, food, and environmental testing markets for [more than] 40 years. So, there is a strong heritage of quality, performance, flexibility, expertise, and understanding of our customers’ needs,” said Andy Whittard, managing director, Cherwell, an AnalytiChem company, in the release. “With the rollout of the Redipor brand name within the AnalytiChem group, it is going to expand its reach further afield while maintaining this quality heritage, which is really exciting.”

AnalytiChem was formed through the acquisition and integration of companies with expertise in specialized laboratory applications. Today, the company is focused on supporting worldwide laboratories with specialized laboratory equipment, reagents, and consumables. In February 2025, the company opened a new office in Porto, Portugal, expanding its presence in that country (2).

"The expansion of AnalytiChem Services in Porto is a strategic step for the AnalytiChem Group. Portugal has proven to be an ideal location for attracting qualified talent, and the new office will create the necessary conditions for sustained growth," said Raoul Biskupek, CEO of the AnalytiChem Group, in a press release issued at the time (2).
