WELLINGTON Laboratories continues to support and participate in scientific research and development. Not only does this research increase the knowledge of our staff, it allows them to work with other experts in the field and help us improve our products and technical support. As can be seen, the synthetic expertise of Wellington Laboratories is supported by strong analytical capabilities. Our  published research represents a minor portion of the day-to-day research carried out at WELLINGTON.

Such research was the impetus for the formation of WELLINGTON and will continue to be the foundation of our company and the strength of our people. The company's commitment is to continue its support and participation in scientific research.

The staff at WELLINGTON have well over 200 publications and examples of some of these are given below.
