Spectrum Chemicals & Laboratory Products announces the signing of a consumables distribution agreement with PerkinElmer, Inc.. The new distribution agreement is for the Company’s lines of consumable products for gas and liquid chromatography, infrared, ultraviolet visible and atomic absorption spectroscopy and thermal analysis instrumentation throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

"Spectrum is already a source for many of the reagents, lab supplies, and equipment used in chromatography and spectroscopy, so it makes sense for us to offer a market leader’s selection of columns, consumables, standards, syringes and equipment accessories to enhance our position as a leading provider of quality laboratory products", says Mark Hurd, Spectrum’s General Manager.

He adds, "We are committed to increasing our profile in the analysis of life sciences and biotechnology products and PerkinElmer products add to Spectrum’s expanding product line."

All of the PerkinElmer consumables are included in Spectrum’s recently released 2012 | 2013 Chromatography & Spectroscopy Products catalog along with Spectrum’s listing of Essential Laboratory Chemicals that compliment these items.
