Quartzy Partners With LA Biotech Accelerator For Lab Management, Supply

By Bio-IT World Staff 

May 2, 2018 Quartzy and LA-based biotechnology accelerator, BioBuilt, have announced a joint effort in which Quartzy will provide the accelerator’s companies with lab management software and faster access to critical reagents and consumables.

“BioBuilt is helping drive a bioscience revolution and Quartzy is pleased to be playing an important part in it,” said Jayant Kulkarni, Quartzy’s founder and CEO, in a press release. “Now, all scientific endeavors supported by BioBuilt will be able to leverage Quartzy’s time-saving operational software as well as our extensive supply chain.”

Quartzy offers a free, online, laboratory supply management and ordering platform. With the platform, BioBuilt’s labs will be able to consolidate their purchasing workflows using the Quartzy Shop, the nation’s most comprehensive and diverse digital catalog of lab supplies containing more than two million products sourced from over 1,000 of the life science industry’s leading suppliers. The time-savings made possible by the Quartzy Shop will allow science teams to direct greater focus toward their research rather than wasting it managing multiple supplier relationships.

The partnership also comes at an opportune moment as it coincides with the opening of the Quartzy Fulfillment Center in Redwood City, Calif. The close proximity of BioBuilt’s companies to Quartzy’s new warehouse will grant these labs accelerated access to mission-critical lab consumables and reagents, ensuring even the most urgent requests are delivered in a timely manner.

"At BioBuilt, we are committed to helping LA's startup biotech companies succeed in applying innovative solutions to society's most pressing challenges,” added Llewellyn Cox, BioBuilt’s Founder and CEO in the same press release. “Quartzy provides an easy-to-use ordering and inventory management solution that allows our clients to get the best pricing from leading suppliers, and focus more of their time and energy on their core mission to create the products of tomorrow."
