Behind Science – Supporting Aotearoa’s Scientists

Lab Supply is a proudly New Zealand–owned and operated, family business built to be a true one-stop shop for laboratories and organisations doing scientific work. From food production to medical research and beyond, we exist to connect New Zealand’s scientists with the world’s most trusted laboratory products.

We started Lab Supply because we saw a need for a local company that could bridge the gap between world-renowned manufacturers and the labs doing vital work here at home. Today, we’re still 100 % focused on that mission – working alongside our customers as part of their team to provide the right advice, products and support to help them achieve their goals.

What We Offer

• Unrivalled Range: Over 90 global suppliers and nearly 100,000 products available to order online.
• Exclusive Access: Sole authorised distributor for Merck Life Science & Lab Solutions in New Zealand. Key partners also include BRAND (Germany), Memmert, Greiner Bio-One and Heidolph.
• Expertise on Tap: Our well-qualified team collaborates with suppliers’ specialists to give you practical, up-to-date advice.
• Fast Delivery: In-stock items shipped nationwide within 48 hours.

Our Culture & Values

We’ve built Lab Supply from scratch with a simple focus: support New Zealand scientists and go the extra mile to make their work easier. That approach has created a unique, people-first culture – both inside our team and in the way we work with customers. We’re approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success.

In 2010 Lab Supply started with a simple idea: a locally owned company dedicated to supporting the scientists of Aotearoa.

Fifteen years on, that same idea has grown into a nationwide team, a unique culture and a community of customers who trust us to stand behind their work.

Over the past decade and a half, we’ve:

• Helped countless researchers and organisations launch new projects by making the right products easy to access.

• Invested in sponsorships, scholarships and events that nurture the next generation of scientists.

• Built a team whose expertise and enthusiasm go beyond supplying goods. We’re collaborators and problem-solvers.

As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, we’re proud of the relationships we’ve built and the discoveries we’ve helped enable. We’re excited for the next chapter in supporting New Zealand science.

Our Customer Promise

Because science and discovery never stop, we work to ensure you don’t have to either.

We pride ourselves on being responsive and proactive, answering requests as quickly as possible and maintaining open, on-going communication with our customers.

In keeping with the latest tech, our new customer portal offers you a wealth of features designed to make your purchasing experience more efficient - from 24/7 ordering capability to accessing order history, invoices, higher quality product imagery, and more. 

We aim to keep optimum stock levels of our most popular products so we can promptly turn around orders with 24-hour delivery for the South Island and 48-hours for the North Island. For those items that must be sourced internationally, we are cognisant of delivery timelines, and promise transparent communication and regular progress updates.

We understand how important it is to uphold the integrity of your work, so we are careful to only source and supply reputable products that won’t risk compromising results, continuity, or lab standards. We provide equipment and consumables you can trust are reliable, accurate and consistent.
