05/01/15 - Fisher First!

The Fisher First program makes Fisher Scientific the flagship distributor for Life and Science chemicals, consumables, equipment, and laboratory supplies for the UC System. The agreement, based on the combined spending power of the 10 UC campuses, is expected to generate benefits greater than $10M in the first year alone. In addition, Fisher was awarded exclusive distribution for Corning brand C-contract items.
