HTZ Limited

HTZ is a manufacturer of automated laboratory equipment specialising in liquid handling instruments for the clinical, industrial and pharmaceutical markets. Its product range includes automated blood grouping and immunoassay systems as well as a number of bespoke products for other clinical, veterinary and food testing sectors.

HTZ has a well-established reputation for high quality instruments which are sold throughout the world via its network of distributors and also through a number of OEM partners. Its headquarters and R&D facilities are located in the UK in New Addington, Croydon.

HTZ was formed in January 2007 as a result of the management buyout of Hook & Tucker Zenyx, a company with a history going back as far as 1962 when it launched a range of surgical instruments and equipment for anaesthesia. In 1964 the first liquid handling products were released.

HTZ is therefore able to draw on a significant level of experience in providing cost-effective solutions to automate liquid handling to a variety of laboratories in the UK and around the world with approx. 80% of products being exported.

The following brand names are used by HTZ as follows:-

• Qasar and BeeGroup range – for automation of blood grouping

• Duet II – a highly sensitive image analysis reader for the interpretation of blood grouping plates, gel cards and other agglutination based tests

• Beeline range – for automation of IFA tests in autoimmunity

• Selecta (XTP1152) – a robotic “pick and place” tube sorter with optional weighing, uncapping and liquid handling modules

• Periflex – a peristaltic pump based vial and tube filling system particularly suitable for aseptic filling tasks

• Compudil – programmable Diluter/Dispensers
