The product has won numerous accolades, including the prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering’s MacRobert award; the premier award for UK innovation in engineering.
• Pharmaceutical Analysis – Cobalt’s RapID and TRS100 systems enable cost-savings and safety improvements for raw materials identification and drug quality testing, which are essential requirements in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The instruments are currently used by 19 of the largest 25 global pharmaceutical companies.

Dr Paul Loeffen, CEO of Cobalt Light Systems, said, “Cobalt’s position at the top of the SME Export Track 100 is another great accolade for the company. Our success in export growth reflects the tremendous efforts we continue to make in bringing innovative products to market, and demonstrates the successful partnerships we have established with our regional distribution partners.
