Profile
Sells lab-essential and clinical-solution reagents, including media plates, culture media, supplements, and molecular biology products. Revenue is mostly U.S.-based, and execution depends on fast-turnaround formulation, quality systems, and manufacturing capacity at its Hollister campus.
Supplies catalog and custom reagents for life-science workflows, with Lab Essentials covering routine and customer-specified formulations and Clinical Solutions covering custom GMP-grade products. Product types include pre-poured media plates, liquid microbial culture media and supplements, and molecular biology reagents.
Serves pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, CDMOs, diagnostic franchises, academic institutions, and government research institutions. Customer revenue is concentrated in the United States, while the business operates from a Hollister manufacturing campus with formulation, dispensing, packaging, quality-control, inventory, warehouse, and clean-room capacity.
Competes on turnaround time, product performance, and quality against large life-science suppliers, niche reagent makers, and customers that can produce similar inputs in-house. Clinical work depends on quality-system capabilities for components used in diagnostic and therapeutic products.
