Luis "Lou"’s Answer

Not much, the terms tend yo be used interchangeably. Biotech tends to be more focus on instrumentation: service, maintenance and repair. Biomed. is more on the medical side, like treatment and application. So, in a very generalized way, the Biotech takes care of the equipment and a Biomed uses it.
Hope this helps.
