October 16, 2007, WINOOSKI VT, USA—BioTek Instruments is pleased to announce that Mr. John Fiducia has accepted the position of Director of Global Service Operations at the company. In this position, Mr. Fiducia will be responsible for supporting all of BioTek's customers and distribution partners in areas including service, technical support and technical training.
