FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY, U.S.A. (August 2, 2016) - ASCO has introduced its Engineered Solutions Program, which cuts the lead times for customized valve and manifold assemblies by up to 50% for the analytical and medical instrument markets. The new program leverages the expertise and resources of the company’s Analytical and Medical Technology groups in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
