Our VWR Distribution & Services segment comprises approximately two-thirds of our revenue and provides a comprehensive set of products and services to scientists and technicians in biopharma research, the academic environment and various diagnostic labs. We offer anything a scientist needs to perform precise and complex analytics in the lab including various consumables, chemicals and reagents, glassware, plasticware and a host of equipment and instruments. High-value services and digital solutions are also key to our portfolio. They optimize end-to-end operations and help build the lab of the future.
