Etaluma Announces the Opening of New Facilities

September 1, 2009 – (Carlsbad, CA) Etaluma, Inc. announced their move into a site within the biotech enclave of Carlsbad. The new facility offers a full cell biology and applications development lab. “We are excited to expand our ability to meet the requirements of our product development efforts.” said Dr. Chris Shumate, President and CEO of Etaluma. “This high quality laboratory, R&D, and administrative space will allow us to continue to grow and expand our product offerings.”

The move comes following the formation of Etaluma in January. The new facility will provide the space needed to accommodate Etaluma’s development of lower cost, simplified bio-analytical tools.

According to Shumate, “Etaluma’s products provide the three most important accessibility traits of lower cost, ease of use, and reduced size and portability. The first product, a low-cost inverted fluorescence microscope, will be launched later this year.”
