Sigma-Aldrich has announced the launch of its Services Network designed to provide laboratory services for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.
The Services Network provides researchers with access to a variety of laboratory-based services from a centralised website location.
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 the Services Network, scientists from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry can select from a menu of laboratory services, including cloning, mass-spectrometry based protein characterisation, 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 US as well as from emergent locales.
Additional certified partners are expected to be added in the future, expanding the services menu.
