If Santa Doesn't Bring Life Scientists What They Need, These Catalogs Will

HOLLISTON, Mass., Nov. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season as usual, mailboxes will be filled to bursting with catalogs offering every imaginable item. However, there's one series of catalogs that relatively few people will ever see—except for those within the life science community. Indeed, life scientists in the U.S. and around the world depend heavily on these particular publications, which are issued by Holliston, MA-based Harvard Bioscience.

People don't have to be farmers to appreciate The Old Farmer's Almanac. Likewise, they don't necessarily have to be scientists to appreciate the vast array of products that help life scientists do their work. For those wondering what's on the holiday wish list of their friendly neighborhood scientist or medical researcher, the answer can be found in Harvard Bioscience's catalogs, which feature specialized scientific instruments to advance life science research. The demand for these catalogs comes from more than 100 countries and helps Harvard Bioscience sell its products to the world's top pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities and government laboratories. 

The catalogs that Harvard Bioscience publish offer brand-name equipment and merchandise from such trusted names as Biochrom, Hoefer, Panlab, Warner Instruments, KD Scientific, Hugo Sachs Elektronik, BTX and Denville Scientific. Harvard Apparatus also has licensing and collaboration agreements with GE Healthcare, Thermo Fisher Scientific, VWR and other leading companies. Sales come through the catalogs as well as the company's website, distributors and worldwide field sales organization.

As Jeffrey A. Duchemin, Harvard Bioscience's President and CEO, explains, "Most of our products are highly specialized for particular research applications in molecular, cellular and physiology research. Our brands are well-established names that convey quality, consistency and reassurance to scientists concerned about getting the highest-quality data from their research. It has been our mission and our passion to support research with the tools they need. We have a long history, but we will never rest on our laurels.
