Integrated Sciences, NuGEN’s new Australian distributor, was established in 1983, with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide. Integrated Sciences supplies a broad range of products to cell and molecular biologists in Australia’s diagnostics and life science markets. MJS BioLynx Inc., NuGEN’s new Canadian distributor, based in Brockville, Ontario, has extensive distribution expertise and specializes in providing high quality products for protein chemistry, immunology, molecular biology and microbiology and other life science disciplines.
“We are very pleased to partner with NuGEN to bring this innovative technology to Australian researchers. Integrated Sciences is now in its 22nd year and we feel it is extremely important to continue to work with companies like NuGEN that provide novel solutions for researchers in the life science market,” said Margie O'Mara, manager of the Life Sciences Division of Integrated Sciences. “NuGEN's products provide a much needed capability in limited sample preparation for both QPCR and microarray applications.”
