Summary:
Midland Scientific provides laboratory products, including chemicals, instrumentation, lab supplies including a laboratory management program and partnership.
This contract simplifies the purchasing process for laboratory products since Midland Scientific can provide products from over 300 manufacturers.

Laboratory management services gives us the benefit of having automatic monthly orders, which guarantees a steady supply of necessary laboratory materials.
Another significant factor with this contract is that Midland Scientific consistently offers a high quality and dependable service, which ensures our capability of meeting our compliance and testing requirements without interruption.
