Recognising Excellence Through Awards and National Events

This prestigious national award recognises outstanding contributions to biochemistry and molecular biology and reflects our passion for acknowledging the impact of research on Aotearoa’s scientific landscape.
We’re also thrilled to sponsor the NZ Young Winemaker of the Year Competition for both 2024 and 2025, supporting the next generation of innovators in one of New Zealand’s most iconic and globally recognised industries.

In addition to these key partnerships, Lab Supply regularly sponsors and attends conferences, symposiums, and events across the country. From regional meetups to national scientific gatherings, our team is actively engaged in conversations that shape the future of research, education, and innovation in New Zealand.
At Lab Supply, our commitment to science goes well beyond products. We’re here to empower discovery, support careers, and help New Zealand’s scientific community thrive.
