Distributor Spotlight - LubioScience

Atlas Antibodies - Hi LubioScience! Can you tell us a little bit about your company, how long have you been in business? What do you offer and where are you located?

LubioScience - Hi Atlas Antibodies, yes of course! LubioScience was founded in 2004 in Lucerne – hence the ‘Lu’ in the company’s name. After twelve years of supplying academics and the life science industry from there, we decided to move to Zurich, the biggest and most beautiful city in Switzerland and one of the main scientific hubs. Since 2017, we operate from Zurich.

 

Atlas Antibodies - What is most important for your company? What makes you unique from other companies in the same segment would you say? Why should someone purchase from you?

LubioScience - Our highest priority is customer satisfaction. Our entire business is based on fast and competent service to our highly valued customer base. Of course, a good relationship with our suppliers is key for driving the business forward. We are the fastest growing Life Science reagent distributor in Switzerland, offering a versatile portfolio that comprises more than 4.5 million products from 100+ suppliers. We cover genomics to proteomics and everything in between.

 

Atlas Antibodies - Do you provide any specific support, assistance, or added value to your customers?

LubioScience - As we are scientists ourselves—our marketing and sales team graduated in molecular biology—we understand the daily lab needs and we can offer a high level of technical support to our customers. Our products are available through internal catalog systems of both academic institutions and industry clients, using static catalogs and punch-out connections. This guarantees fast and simple ordering for our customers.
