Lonza Appoints UK Distributor for Cell Biology Media and Molecular Biology Reagents

Scientific Laboratory Supplies (SLS) has been appointed as the sole distributor for Lonza’s BioWhittaker cell biology media and serum product lines in the UK. SLS and Lonza have entered a strategic collaboration that aims to increase and improve the visibility, availability and service associated with the supply of this Lonza portfolio, which also includes SeaKem and SeaPlaque agaroses, the FlashGel system and PAGEr precast protein gels.

“SLS is the UK’s largest independent supplier of scientific equipment, chemicals and consumables and we are making a significant investment in our storage capabilities to accommodate the new Lonza product portfolio,” said Paul Hutchinson, Sales Manager for Life Science Products at SLS.

“SLS is committed to increasing its presence in the life science sector and this alliance is the latest in a series of collaborations which demonstrate how serious we are about this market.”

Leigh Eastwood, European Distribution/Export Manager at Lonza, said: “Lonza selected SLS as its UK distributor because of its flexibility and willingness to provide Lonza with exactly what we were looking for in terms of logistics and market focus. With SLS’ increasing presence in the life science arena, we are excited about our new working partnership.”
