NEW YORK, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rising demand for personalized and custom-made products is reshaping how creators, small studios, and production businesses prepare for 2026. From engraved gifts to custom metalwork, consumers increasingly seek products that reflect individuality and craftsmanship. To meet this growing demand, Monport Laser is offering professional-grade CO2 laser and fiber laser systems that enable creators to expand their capabilities and maintain precision, speed, and versatility in production.
Laser engraving technology allows makers to work across a variety of materials—from wood and acrylic to leather and metals such as stainless steel and titanium—supporting a wide range of creative and commercial applications. With Monport Laser’s Black Friday promotion now underway, studios and small manufacturers have a limited window to secure advanced desktop CO2 lasers and fiber laser systems at some of the year’s best prices.
High demand and limited stock make early action essential for creators looking to upgrade equipment, expand capabilities, and scale operations efficiently before 2026.
Reno Series: Compact CO2 Lasers for Wood Engraving
The Reno Series Desktop CO2 Laser offers high-performance cutting and engraving in a compact design, making it ideal for home studios, small workshops, and educational environments. Available in 45W (Reno45) and 65W (Reno65) configurations, the series handles detailed work on wood, acrylic, leather, and other materials.
The Basic model provides a simple plug-and-play setup compatible with LightBurn Core software, while the Pro model adds an advanced DSP motherboard, touchscreen controls, and Wi-Fi for more complex workflows. The Pro Vision version includes an 8MP HD camera for precise alignment and batch processing of high-volume projects. By providing professional-quality results without requiring extensive workspace, the Reno Series enables makers to scale their creative output efficiently and reliably.
GM Fiber Laser: Precision for Metalwork and Advanced Metal Engraving
For creators working with metals, the GM Fiber Laser Engraver delivers industrial-grade precision and versatility. With power options ranging from 20W to 60W and MOPA technology, it supports deep engraving, 3D reliefs, and color marking on metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium.
Jewelry designers, small manufacturers, and professional studios rely on the GM Fiber Laser to produce consistent, high-quality results. Its capabilities allow creators to broaden product lines and provide premium personalized items—ranging from corporate gifts and event merchandise to bespoke metal products—meeting the rising demand for customization in 2026.
Black Friday Promotions Drive Immediate Opportunities
The final phase of Monport Laser’s Black Friday event offers makers expanded laser engraving machine savings, upgraded value bundles, and limited-time price reductions on both the Reno Series CO2 laser and GM Fiber Laser Engraver. This savings is structured to create urgency: stocks are limited, and several high-demand models—including those bundled with rotary axes and gift cards—are expected to sell out quickly.
Tiered discounts provide additional savings based on total purchase value, while bonus bundles include rotary attachments for cylindrical engraving and digital gift cards for accessories, materials, or upgrades. Flash deals on advanced components add further value for studios looking to expand capabilities before the new year.
Creators are encouraged to shop early to secure professional-grade equipment, as the combination of high demand and limited stock ensures that some items may be unavailable before the promotion ends.
Preparing for the 2026 Personalization Wave
Industry analysts predict strong growth for the personalization market in 2026. Consumers increasingly value products that reflect individuality, driving studios to adopt tools that combine precision, speed, and reliability.
Many makers are integrating desktop CO2 lasers and fiber laser systems within the same workspace, allowing them to handle both organic materials and metals. Some studios also turn to industrial laser cutter machines to manage large-format projects or high-volume production. By upgrading during the Black Friday promotion, creators can prepare their studios to meet growing demand, expand product offerings, and remain competitive in the coming year.
Scaling Studios for Efficiency and Flexibility
The Reno Series and GM Fiber Laser make it easier for creators to scale operations without significant infrastructure changes. Compact CO2 laser machines provide precise engraving on multiple materials, while fiber lasers expand capabilities into metalwork and premium product lines. Together, these machines allow workshops to diversify offerings, optimize production workflows, and respond to both seasonal and long-term demand surges.
Monport Laser’s Black Friday promotions give creators an opportunity to secure these tools with additional bonuses before stock runs out, supporting both immediate production needs and long-term business growth.

XI’AN, China, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On World AIDS Day 2025, Tianlong reiterates its commitment to advancing global transfusion safety by presenting its fully integrated nucleic acid blood screening solution. Combining high automation with high-sensitivity NAT reagents, the solution enables earlier detection of low-viral-load infections—an essential step in reducing transfusion-transmitted HIV and safeguarding patients who rely on safe blood.
Strengthening Blood Safety Through Earlier Detection
Ensuring blood safety remains one of the most effective defenses against transfusion-transmitted infections. By enhancing screening accuracy and enabling laboratories to detect HBV, HCV, HIV-1, and HIV-2 during early infection stages, Tianlong supports global public health efforts and reinforces trust in every unit of donated blood.
A Fully Automated Workflow for Blood Screening Application
At the core of Tianlong’s solution is the Aurora PANA X6 Fully Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System, developed for blood centers and large-scale screening programs.
When paired with the Gentier 96 Real-time PCR System, the platform enables a true sample-in, result-out process, integrating: original tube loading, barcode identification, automated capping/decapping, direct sample pooling, nucleic acid extraction, PCR setup, PCR amplification. This end-to-end automation reduces manual steps, lowers contamination risk, and enhances operational safety.
High Throughput for High-Volume Blood Screening Demands
Aurora PANA X6 processes up to 576 samples per run and 1,152 samples per day, providing the capacity required for high-volume screening. The ability to load original sample tubes with automated capping/decapping ensures consistent, contamination-controlled operations.
Direct Pooling and Flexible Screening Modes
The system conducts direct pooling into deep-well plates—eliminating the need for extra collection tubes—and supports individual testing and 6-in-1 pooled testing, allowing laboratories to balance efficiency and sensitivity.
To ensure reliable performance, the platform features independent work zones, HEPA filtration, UV disinfection, controlled airflow, and anti-drip design, delivering robust biosafety in demanding laboratory environments.
High-Sensitivity NAT Reagents to Detect Low-Load Infections
KHB’s high-sensitivity NAT reagent complements Tianlong’s automated platform, using qualitative real-time PCR in an all-in-one format that integrates extraction and amplification.
The reagent system is engineered to detect HBV, HCV, HIV-1, and HIV-2 even at low viral loads, enabling laboratories to identify window-period infections, reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted diseases and improve overall blood supply safety.
On World AIDS Day, this early-window detection capability highlights a shared commitment to protecting every life connected to blood donation and transfusion.
Committed to Safer Transfusions — Today and Every Day
“On World AIDS Day, we are reminded that every safe transfusion represents a promise of protection for another human life,” said Li Ming, CEO of Tianlong. “Our mission is to equip laboratories with solutions that enhance accuracy, strengthen biosafety, and support the global effort to prevent HIV transmission.”
