Interest in Porvair Sciences's latest free draw to win an iPod was intense, but the lucky winner was Kerry McKenna, a scientist in the Analytical Group of Cambridge, UK based Xenova Biomanufacturing
A Xenova Biomanufacturing scientist has won Porvair Sciences's latest free prize draw for people registering online for the company's 64-page Microplate Specialists Catalogue.
McKenna received her new iPod Nano from Porvair Sciences sales manager, Steve Knight at a special presentation in her laboratory.
She said "I never win anything in competitions so you can imagine my surprise when I found I'd won the iPod.
"We use a lot of assay microplates in Xenova and the Porvair catalogue is a useful reference for us, I'm really glad I requested one now".
