Copenhagen, Denmark – Radiometer's ABL9 blood gas analyser has been awarded a Red Dot Design Award, an internationally recognised design award focusing on trendsetting and high quality design. The ABL9 analyser won in the product design category.

Kasper Schweitz, Vice President, Global R&D at Radiometer, says, "We're incredibly proud of this recognition.

Winning this award is a testament to the work of an incredible team."
