Production and quality assurance
SCHOTT pursues a policy of continued technical excellence to deliver high
quality products and services. The company is dedicated to product consistency
and reliability – providing scientists with highly reproducible microarray
slides. To ensure this, SCHOTT uses only high quality glass substrates and operates
the world’s most modern microarray slide production plant. This manufacturing
facility, located in Jena, one of Germany’s leading biotech clusters,
is equipped with state-of-the-art production technology and runs a stringent
quality control system. The Microarray Solutions unit successfully implemented
the DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 quality management system in June 2006, as part
of SCHOTT’s commitment to offering the highest quality products.
