Uniglobe Research Corporation

August 2007 Catalog

UNIGLOBE RESEARCH CORPORATION is dedicated to providing high quality products to the diagnostic and research industry. The materials we supply are for in vitro diagnostic use only, unless otherwise specified at time of purchase. We have been inspected by the FDA, and have been issued their registration #2077915.

Fiona Taylor has been engaged in the sale of human blood and related products for over 30 years, both in the domestic and international markets, and is very familiar with the import and export of such materials. In 1989, Uniglobe Research was founded to further this work: we look forward to continuing mutually successful relationships with our current customers, and to expanding our list of clients within the industry. Indira Pethebridge joined the company in 1991.

This brochure is designed to acquaint our customers with the scope of products we are able to supply: however, as our offerings are constantly changing, we will endeavor to provide you with additional requirements as they may arise. Therefore, please do not hesitate to inquire regarding non-listed items.

It is the policy of Uniglobe Research Corporation to provide pre-shipment samples to our customers for their approval prior to placing orders. We have found this to be the most expedient method of working, to ensure that exact requirements are met. We urge speedy evaluation of samples in order to avoid the possibility of prior sales: availability cannot be guaranteed.

All products and samples are tested by approved methods, for those tests required by current regulation, and labeled accordingly. Additional testing may be performed upon request. In the case of infectious substances, appropriate labeling will be affixed to both samples and products: all invoices, packing slips, etc. will be clearly marked in order to properly identify the product, and the required "dangerous goods" forms will accompany the shipment. Analysis sheets and Certificates of Origin can be supplied upon request.
