The New Face of Reagent Distributors

Actors of the research industry are highly diverse. Let’s meet the people that are not researcher themselves but that are exceptionally supportive to scientists and engineers: distributors of lab consumables.

Which chemist and pharmacologist would be able to work without reagents? None. The work of distributors is to get high-quality reagent from factories to the lab bench. They are often more than just suppliers, they provide researchers with qualified advises before purchasing.

Scientist met Amina that works for the Spanish company Mirage Biomedicals. A company she founded in 2016.

Briefly, can you present who you are and what is the activity of your company?

My name is Amina and I am an Immunology researcher turned businesswoman, currently co-managing Mirage Biomedicals in Spain.

Mirage Biomedicals is a 1,5-year-old startup company, involved in the trading of molecular and cell biology reagents used in research labs. Our mission is to make science possible, all the while allowing the scientist to experience the difference of dealing with us as suppliers.

Concretely, what do you offer?

We offer high-quality products, at lower costs. We strive to maintain our operational costs as a company low in order to relay that cost-effectiveness to our scientists. Our customer service is excellent, and you will not have to wait long before hearing from us if you have a query. We also strive to offer the fastest delivery times, because, as scientists ourselves, we understand the importance and pressure of timely publications.

What is your main advantage?

Our main advantage is our products’ quality to price ratio. We have had many clients compare the products we represent to the more known brands (such as Thermo, Roche, and Kapa). We compete with the very best, at the very best prices.

What kind of relation do you have with your customers?

This is what really makes us stand out from the general supplier persona. We establish personal relationships with our customers so that they will always feel at ease expressing their needs.
