LABORTARY
A must for manufactury
STATE-OF-THE-ART laboratories are now an integral part of manufacturing and services outfits. For a start, reliable readings often mean cost savings and healthier profits. Concern for product quality and safety, workplace safety, greater environmental awareness and meeting ISO standards are some of the other issues that have driven companies to set up their own laboratories.
From multinationals to small-and medium-enterprises (SMEs), more industrial players are setting up in-house laboratories to do physical and chemical testing in their production chain – from raw material to final output, and even product wastes.

MALAYSIAN SCENARIO
As Malaysia continues to capture a larger slice of the life-sciences market (including healthcare and biotechnology), one can expect higher demand for scientific measurement instruments and consultancy. Annual sales of laboratory equipment-cum-machinery in Malaysia is estimated to be more than RM500 million.
And with biotechnology poised to drive the next wave of knowledge-based industries in Malaysia, there will be increased demand for high-precision laboratory equipment. The National Biotechnology Policy (NBP) sets the direction for the industry and offers tax breaks for private investments. The Ninth Malaysia Plan (2006-2010) will focus on implementing the NBP to develop Malaysia's niches in agriculture biotechnology, healthcare-related biotechnology, industrial biotechnology and bioinformatics.
For Malaysia, growth in this sector means wealth creation, new investment and employment opportunities, as well as social and environmental benefits. As such, the government will continue to support this sector.
With the set-up of the Malaysian Biotechnology Corporation, Malaysia is set to participate actively in one of the fastest growing markets in the world; one with a global market capitalisation of US$700 billion and an annual turnover of US$50 billion.
Additionally, government-backed research institutions like Malaysian Agricultural Research Development Institute (MARDI), Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia (RRI), Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), Palm Oil Research Institute Malaysia (PORIM), Malaysian Institute of Microelectronic System (MIMOS), SIRIM Berhad and the Malaysian Institute of Nuclear Technology (MINT) are expected to maintain a constant demand for a wide range of laboratory equipment.
