Empowering Biotech Education
Baker Donates Advanced Equipment to the Biotech Training Facility
At Baker, we are committed to advancing scientific excellence by supporting the institutions that prepare tomorrow’s innovators. This mission came to life through our collaboration with the Biotech Training Facility (BTF) in Leiden, where we donated three of our high-performance laboratory solutions to help strengthen their hands-on biotechnology training programs.
BTF is a premier education and training center that offers real-world, GMP-aligned experience in biopharmaceutical production and biotechnological processes. Their impact extends across universities, industry professionals, and the growing life science workforce in the Netherlands and beyond.
A Shared Commitment to Training, Safety, and Innovation
Our contribution includes three key technologies essential to modern bioprocessing and cell culture workflows:
- BioVanguard Biosafety Cabinet – to protect researchers and their work
- SCI-tive Cell Culture Workstation/Isolator – to ensure a controlled research space
- ReCO₂ver™ Incubator – to support optimal cell culture conditions.
These systems enable BTF to train students and professionals on the same state-of-the-art equipment used in high-level biopharmaceutical manufacturing and research facilities.

Working Together for Biotech Education
BTF shared their enthusiasm for this collaboration, stating:
“We are very proud to have The Baker Company as one of our main sponsors! Their equipment will allow us to give training on important aspects of biopharmaceutical production. Looking forward to many more years of exciting collaboration. Special thanks to Diko Strietman.”
We are equally proud to support their mission. By equipping BTF with cutting-edge technology, we reinforce our shared commitment to safety, innovation, and the future of biotech education. Together, we are helping prepare the next generation of scientists and bioprocessing professionals, and investing in the advancement of life science training in the Netherlands.
