Sigma-Aldrich Introduces New Services Network Complementing Its Life Sciences Product Portfolio

Customers can now conveniently access a collection of support services that can be used on a short or long term basis to accelerate their research.

Sigma-Aldrich today announced the launch of its new Services Network designed to provide laboratory services for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. The new Services Network provides researchers with convenient access to a wide variety of laboratory-based services from a centralized website location (www.sigma-aldrich.com/life-science/life-science-services.html). The Network will allow scientists to engage Sigma-Aldrich resources and certified partners for laboratory services on an as-needed basis, freeing them to concentrate on core research objectives.

With this new Services Network, scientists from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry can select from a menu of laboratory services, including cloning, mass spectrometry based protein characterization, protein expression and protein purification services to supplement their research and support drug discovery. The Services Network includes Sigma-Aldrich's core capabilities and numerous Sigma Certified partners located in the United States as well as from emergent locales. Additional certified partners are expected to be added in the future, expanding the services menu.

"The Sigma-Aldrich Services Network offers a powerful tool that addresses an expanding demand for services to support advanced life science research. While many companies may offer individual services, our global network offers an expanding variety of services, complements our product portfolio and comes with the single-source convenience and the proven reliability of Sigma-Aldrich," said Helge Bastian, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Sigma-Aldrich.
