McGinnis brings 25 years of sales experience across leading companies in the life science industry, including Life Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Essen BioScience, and Sartorius. His expertise in building and leading teams selling instruments in the microscopy, flow cytometry, and bio-analytical fields is directly relevant to Cell Microsystems’ CellRaft AIR® System and other products. “The Cell Microsystems system represents an innovative imaging-based approach for cell analysis and isolation,” said Scott McGinnis. “I am truly excited to join the team and help to bring this technology to the life science market.”
