Vials & garden gnomes, how do they go together?
A justified question. The answer is simple. Both come from Gräfenroda.
Gräfenroda is the home of our partner company Glastechnik Gräfenroda GmbH (GTG). And garden gnomes have been lovingly handcrafted in Gräfenroda since 1874. Another thing that connects these companies, as well as infochroma ag, is that they are all family-owned. Their focus is on excellent product quality and service.
Our gnomes have become a tradition and have grown into a family. Gnomes are considered clever and are said to be skilled craftsmen, hard-working and honest. As virtual personalities, each gnome has a name, and with a wink, we have assigned each of our gnomes a task.
Viola Vial
Organiser of the sample (2025)
Viola loves clean lines, well-designed systems and appreciates the unsung heroes of everyday lab life: clean vials, reliable caps and colleagues who think for themselves!
Fun fact: In her spare time, she untangles labels and barcodes, sorts the contents of her refrigerator by colour, and is passionate about playing Bingo Chroma.
Chemicus Carbon-Chroma
Family gnome (2014)
Chemicus has a C in a diamond on his jumper. This stands for the sixth element, carbon, the molecular basis of all life on Earth. But it also represents chromatography, the Chemicus shop and, last but not least, commitment.
Harry Hygiene
Protector of the clean room (2017)
Cleanliness expert Harry Hygiene keeps a watchful eye on the clean room. Under his supervision, germs and pyrogens don't stand a chance.
Rosa Maria
Laboratory lady gnome (2010)
Rosa Maria is the patron saint of the laboratory. She watches over the accuracy of the analyses and protects your laboratory from adversity.
Fläschli Joseph
Wrestling gnome (2012)
Wrestling is the traditional combat sport of the Swiss Confederation, a test of strength conducted in a spirit of fairness and friendship. And so our Fläschli Joseph also represents fairness in the daily trials of strength within the community, at work and at home.
Yetino Rodovich
Guardian of the purity of the sample (2011)
Our Yeti dwarf monitors the purity of the sample so that it passes through the analysis process without any problems and without clogging the channels.
