Tyren Botes

Tyren is a Field Service Engineer who spends his days persuading temperamental lab instruments into peak performance. With over 14 years of experience in biomedical technology, molecular diagnostics, and microbiology, he’s developed a knack for solving technical challenges and making complex systems work like clockwork (or at least like a really reliable stopwatch).

Tyren thrives in the sweet spot between science and engineering, blending meticulous attention to detail with a good dose of creativity to keep labs running smoothly. Whether it’s troubleshooting an NGS platform, calibrating qPCR systems, or teaching someone how to not push the wrong button, he’s got it covered.

Tyren is a techie at heart, if it has wires, sensors, or software, he’s already figuring out how to make it better. He is skilled in the art of Diagnostics Wizardry, from molecular diagnostics to lab automation, he specialises in making the science happen behind the scenes. And of course, he is a compliance enthusiast, he understands that ISO standards and regulatory guidelines aren’t just rules—they’re his bread and butter.

When Tyren’s not wrangling instruments or bridging the gap between complex tech and real-world applications – he loves helping people feel confident with their tool – you can find him geeking out over the latest in lab tech and technologies, troubleshooting just for the thrill of it, or enjoying a strong cup of coffee (or three). Life’s too short for under-performing equipment and boring conversations.
