Fisher Scientific, part of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., today announced the launch of a dedicated life sciences supplement to complement its existing 2010 new Lab Start-Up (LSU) programme, enabling scientists to save money with reduced prices, free accessories and special offers.

Now in its tenth year, the LSU programme helps customers who are setting up or moving to a new laboratory, as well as first-time grant holders. The new supplement is tailored specifically for the needs of life scientists and extends the programme to include a range of key products and consumables used in a wide range of these laboratories.

Benefits of the programme include:

• More than 75 individual offers on products which all life scientists will need
• Comprehensive range of equipment including PCR, centrifuges and Western blotting
• £500 in FisherBrand vouchers when a first order is placed*
• Special pricing on Fisherbrand consumables and Fisher Scientific equipment

Leading brands included in the supplement are Fisher Chemical, Fisher Bioreagents®, Thermo Scientific, Invitrogen™, GE Healthcare, IBA and Eppendorf.

When combined with the main Laboratory Start-Up Catalogue, the new life science supplement means that any new life science laboratory can maximise the value of their spending across the whole range of consumables, chemicals and equipment. From autoclaves, liquid handling, lab coats, gloves and pH meters to centrifuges, spectrophotometers, electrophoresis and thermal cyclers, the LSU programme offers a wide choice of products for the scientist.
