Formation
BST Scientific was formed in 1998 with the intention of serving the then still nascent life science community in Singapore through distribution of research products that is relevant to the community
Expansion
When BST Scientific was first started, it had a team of two person and very few manufacturers under its representation. As the company grew, more and more established manufacturers joined our fold, and our headcount swelled.
In early 2000s, the life science and biomedical science community in Singapore started growing rapidly as the goverment indentified this sector as one of the important pillars of growth. With this new development, BST Scientific decided to expand more rapidly and moved towards the goal of manufacturing life science related products.
In 2002, 1st BASE Pte Ltd was born, with the intention on providing custom oligonucleotide synthesis service. It was soon spun off into it's own independent entity with matching VC funding, with one of the BST Scientific co-founders, Mr Lee Kok Choy as the new CEO. Today, 1st BASE provides a wide variety of custom services, like DNA synthesis, DNA sequencing, protein sequencing, peptide synthesis and it's own line of ready-to-use buffers.
In 2006, another company was formed. vCell Science Pte Ltd was spun off as a separate entity to focus on new, upcoming brands to promote in Singapore and the surrounding region. It has since matured into a leading distributor of research immunologicals in Singapore.
In 2008, after 10 years of serving the Singapore market, a decision was made to expand our coverage to two other countries in this region, namely Malaysia and Indonesia. To directly serve these countries, two sister companies were formed, with Axon Scientific Sdn Bhd in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and PT Genetika Science in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Present
Today, BST Scientific is a leading distributor of life science/biomedical science products in Singapore. Over the years it has gained expertise in many areas related to this industry, but it has deliberately kept it's main focus narrower than most other companies. This has enabled it to grow, yet at the same time, nurture other successful spin-offs and keep it's customer satisfied with it's own brand of service.
