908 Devices (Nasdaq: MASS), a pioneer of purpose-built handheld and desktop devices for chemical and biomolecular analysis, today announced that GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) has purchased an additional REBEL™ cell culture media analyzer. GSK will now have a total of five REBEL analyzers being used by its biologics and vaccine process development teams.

“We are pleased that GSK has once again chosen our REBEL desktop device as part of its process development efforts to bring promising therapeutics to market,” said Dr. Kevin J.
