OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). :CRII) announced today that it has received the CE Mark from the European community for its Cell Robotics Workstation, LaserTweezers(R), LaserScissors(TM) and other related components of its research product line. The CE Mark is required to sell any research instrument into the European community, as well as Brazil, and Australia. Obtaining the CE mark will immediately allow Cell Robotics to begin shipping its full Cell Robotics Workstation and LaserScissors or LaserTweezers Workstations into those countries. In order to obtain the CE Mark, Cell Robotics was required to comply with the prescribed rigorous testing of all components of its laser work station, and to meet the performance, quality and safety standards of the International Electric Code, the International EMC (1) (EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, www.emc.com) The leading supplier of storage products for midrange computers and mainframes. Founded in 1979 by Richard J. Egan and Roger Marino, EMC has developed advanced storage and retrieval technologies for the world's largest companies. (Electro Magnetic Compliance) standards, and the International Safety Requirements For Electrical Equipment For Laboratory Use. "We are delighted with the endorsement the CE Mark represents for our research instrument product line. This indicates the high quality of our products, engineering and management," said Ronald K. Lohrding, Ph.D., Cell Robotics President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "Orders for this product line have already exceeded sales for all of last year."
