Think Quality, Think LS Scientific

We are delighted to welcome back, LS Scientific Limited as our Quality Control Scientific Solutions Provider Company of the Month.

In the realm of quality control within the scientific community, precision and accuracy reign supreme, leaving no margin for error. From chemicals, glassware, consumables, high-tech equipment to PPE, LS Scientific is a marketleading scientific service provider offering top-tier solutions across various industries, including R&D, microbiology, lab analysis, and much more.

We revealed back in our February issue of Industrial Process News, that the trusted Whitstable-based distributor is now the proud exclusive distributor for the Chem-Lab range in the UK, bringing premium chemicals, bespoke solvents, acid mixtures (High purity for trace metals PPT/PPB) buffer solutions, organic and inorganic standards to the market. As LS Scientific gears up for the Pharma West Africa Exhibition 2024 in Nigeria, we caught up with Murewa Odunjo, the Managing Director, to delve into the company’s future trajectory.

“We are continuing to grow our UK-based team having recently recruited two new experienced sales managers to drive our UK sales team. After a highly successful 17 years serving the export market, we are now looking at expanding our business model to consolidate our position as a onestop-shop for quality control needs for the UK market. In the current market, companies have to contact different organisations for R&D, or lab analysis but our long term aim is to streamline processes for our clientele by offering everything under one roof. If you’re looking for scientific equipment, chemicals, lab analysis, microbiology, R&D, even the full design of a laboratory, we will be able to help with all of that as we currently do for the African market.”
