Immunotec is launching a comprehensive new product catalog that breaks down the health line
into user-friendly categories. The catalog also comes with a companion PowerPoint presentation
that will be available to download in the online Business Centre.
Each product page in the catalog offers concise, easy to understand information on the featured
Immunotec item and will include the headings: Product Description; You will benefit from this

THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION is a short summary paragraph on the featured product.
