Nick Ash, CEO of Source BioScience said in a press statement, “The acquisition of Select will provide the company with the expertise and capability to provide stability testing services that are highly complementary to the group’s existing stability storage services. Significant cross-selling opportunities are apparent with our existing customer base, enabling them to reduce the number of service providers and de-risk the process by avoiding unnecessary sample transfers.”
