Fisher Scientific, part of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced it has become the exclusive distributor of Labscan chemicals in Ireland.

Labscan produces high purity solvents for use in laboratories and other exacting environments. This move further extends the strong relationship already enjoyed with Fisher Scientific in other territories across Europe, including Sweden and Denmark.

Key markets for these high specification products include the biomedical, environmental, life science and pharmaceutical sectors among others.

David Westwater, General Manager Fisher Scientific (Northern Europe), is delighted with this new development and pledges that the same level of service and reliability will continue to be provided.

“To ensure that the highest levels of service continue, Fisher Scientific has made a significant investment in stock, which is also being held locally in Ireland and readily available.

“Furthermore, all Fisher Scientific representatives are fully trained by Labscan and will offer a first class technical product support and backup service to existing customers.”

The Labscan range will be produced by POCH SA, a high calibre chemical manufacturing company with over 60 years experience and 350 employees. To ensure that future product quality is consistent with current Labscan specifications, POCH will be using the same equipment, processes and raw materials.
