Cambridge, UK, 12 November 2015: Abcam plc, a global leader in the supply of life science research tools, announced today the launch of its direct service to Singapore, as part of a global commitment to support local researchers’ needs. The new Singapore service will provide direct technical support and customer services, expanding Abcam’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

This service brings Abcam products one step closer to researchers in Singapore, with fast and direct delivery. In addition, it will strengthen existing relationships and promote further collaborations with top-tier research institutions and companies in the region.
