Cymitquimica

What Cymitquimica does

Cymitquimica (legal name Cymit Química S.L.) is a Barcelona-based e-commerce marketplace that supplies chemical, biochemical, and life science products to research and quality control laboratories across Europe. Founded in the early 2000s as a family business, the company has grown into an internationally recognized distributor operating out of a single headquarters at Pamplona 96-104 in Barcelona, with no disclosed subsidiaries or parent entity.

The platform aggregates more than a dozen international manufacturers and pharmacopoeia bodies into a single searchable storefront, including Reagecon, EDQM, TCI, Alfa Aesar, British Pharmacopoeia, Cygnus, Doctor Ehrenstorfer, TRC, Biosynth, Apollo Scientific, Targetmol, and Sisco Research Laboratories. Its catalog spans quality control (electrochemical, physicochemical, inorganic, and organic analytical standards, plus pharmacopoeia-compliant EP/BP/USP/JP/ChP materials and nitrosamine standards), chemistry and synthesis (organic and inorganic compounds, building blocks, solvents, polymers, catalysts, nanomaterials, surfactants, supramolecular products), life science (DNA detection, extraction, and amplification kits, ELISA kits, antimicrobials, immunoassays, compound libraries), APIs for research, and labware/consumables. Notable catalog scale includes roughly 67,935 SKUs in the APIs-for-research category alone. Search is functional rather than intelligent, organized by CAS number, product reference, and chemical name, and the website is localized into six languages.

The company generates revenue through direct one-time product sales at per-unit pricing (with volume discounts available), with prices listed on the website excluding VAT. Distribution is exclusively through its own e-commerce storefront, augmented by SAP Ariba supplier-network integration (ID AN01440351107) for enterprise procurement workflows. Cymitquimica also provides dangerous-goods shipment documentation and customs handling as a value-added service. The go-to-market motion is product-led growth: customers self-register, search the catalog, and transact online without sales intervention. Customer segments include pharmaceutical manufacturers (e.g., Almirall S.A., Bioiberica), biotechnology and bioscience firms (Micro-Bios), and academic research institutions (Valencia University ICMol, Rovira i Virgili University). The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and is led by CEO Enric Batlle.

Core offering

CymitQuimica operates an e-commerce marketplace that aggregates and distributes chemical compounds, analytical reference standards, pharmacopoeia-compliant reagents, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for research, life science kits, and laboratory consumables from multiple international manufacturers to research laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and biotech companies. The platform supports searchable browsing by CAS number, product reference, or chemical name across six languages, and the company handles documentation, dangerous goods shipments, and international logistics.

Product overview

CymitQuimica is a scientific research marketplace offering a comprehensive portfolio of laboratory chemicals and supplies. The platform provides Quality Control products including Physicochemical Standards, Electrochemistry Standards, Inorganic Standards, Organic Analytical Standards, and Standards in Compliance with Pharmacopoeias (EP, BP, USP, JP, ChP), as well as Indicators and Nitrosamine Standards. Under Chemistry and Synthesis, the company offers Inorganic Compounds, Organic Compounds, Building Blocks, Reference Standards (CRS), Polymers, Solvents, Nanomaterials, Catalysts, Surfactants, and Supramolecular Chemistry products. The Life Science division includes DNA Detection kits, DNA Extraction kits, DNA Amplification reagents, ELISA kits, Cellular and Molecular Biology products, Antimicrobials, Immunoassays, Antibodies, and Compound Libraries. The platform also provides Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) for research, Pharmacopoeias and Publications, and Labware and Consumables. This is a multi-category marketplace platform rather than a single unified product, connecting laboratories and manufacturers with global chemical and biological product suppliers.
