kbDNA's Solution to the Consumables Crisis of Today

Materials key to life science research, such as research plastics, media, filters, and other routine consumables have become more expensive and more difficult to source than in previous years, thanks to the recent global supply-chain crisis.

These materials are the backbone of research discovery, and American markets have been acutely affected by their scarcity.

  • Plastics: These include items like petri dishes, pipette tips, and test tubes, which are indispensable for daily laboratory operations. The demand for these plastics has surged, yet production has been hampered by raw material shortages and logistic disruptions.
  • Media: Culture media and reagents are critical for cell culture and other biological research.
  • Filters: Filters are crucial for various laboratory processes, including purification and analysis.
  • Routine Consumables: The availability of gloves, labels, and other routine consumables has also been affected. 


The industry is responding by seeking alternative suppliers, investing in inventory management, and exploring sustainable options to reduce reliance on single-use plastics. There's also a push towards localizing production to minimize dependency on global supply chains. These strategies aim to stabilize the supply of these critical materials and support the continuity of life science research.


This is where our kbPROCURE program comes into play.
