About Standard Chems
Learn about our mission, values, and the dedicated team behind our premium research chemicals
Our Story
Standard Chems was founded in 2015 by a team of pharmaceutical researchers who recognized a growing need for reliable, high-purity research chemicals in the scientific community. Frustrated by the inconsistent quality and unreliable suppliers in the market, they set out to create a company that would set new standards for purity, reliability, and customer service in the research chemical industry.
What began as a small operation serving a handful of research institutions has grown into an internationally recognized supplier trusted by universities, pharmaceutical companies, and research facilities worldwide. Our commitment to excellence has remained unchanged since day one: to provide researchers with the highest quality materials so they can focus on what matters most—their research.
