JW Biotech Launches 'Crabsmall', an Online Platform Specializing in Scientific Instruments

JW Biotech has officially launched an online shopping mall for scientific equipment.

JW Biotech, a KOSDAQ-listed company, announced on the 7th that it has officially opened 'CRABS Mall,' a direct-operated shopping mall where researchers from schools, research institutes, medical institutions, and bio companies can easily purchase scientific equipment in line with the increasing demand for digital purchasing.

CRABS Mall is a site where researchers can purchase reagents, consumables, and laboratory equipment from major scientific equipment brands that are well recognized among researchers. Customers can not only purchase scientific equipment but also request experimental services such as antibodies, metabolites, and genomics. Additionally, pre-owned equipment with verified performance is also available for purchase.

Furthermore, the site offers a web magazine that presents scientific facts in an engaging way and a bulletin board function where researchers in the scientific field can exchange information, making it widely used as a communication space for young researchers.

Through CRABS Mall, the company plans not only to facilitate the purchase of individual items for researchers but also to strengthen JW Biotech's brand value and get closer to consumers.

A company representative said, "We are enhancing our online capabilities in the distribution of scientific equipment to adapt to changes in the domestic research environment and the digital era," adding, "We will build a stronger online platform to secure a leading position in the scientific equipment online mall market, where there is not yet a clear frontrunner."

He continued, "The distribution business of scientific instruments, which was mainly conducted offline, is expected to expand significantly online," explaining, "Since most researchers purchasing scientific equipment and consumables belong to the MZ generation, who are familiar with online platforms, we expect a considerable sales-driving effect."

Meanwhile, to commemorate the opening of the shopping mall, JW Biotech is holding an event offering a 20% discount on popular scientific instrument products. Detailed information can be found on the CRABS Mall website.
