What Realab does

Realab (ТОВ "РЕАЛАБ") is a Kyiv-based B2B specialty distributor of laboratory chemicals, reagents, consumables, and equipment, operating exclusively in Ukraine since its founding in December 2004. The company imports and distributes high-purity reagents, solvents, certified reference materials (CRMs), analytical standards, chromatography columns and consumables, microbiology and cell culture products, PCR/molecular biology reagents, histology supplies, and laboratory glassware across nine product categories on its e-commerce platform realab.ua. Realab holds exclusive Ukrainian distribution agreements with multiple globally recognized manufacturers including Phenomenex (chromatography), Solstice/Honeywell Research Chemicals (reagents), Fisher Scientific (equipment and supplies), TCI (30,000+ compounds), Shodex (polymer chromatography columns), Normax (glassware), DELTALAB (plastic labware), CPAchem (reference materials), and Lab.Instruments (specialty analytical products). Several of these relationships have been maintained for 10+ years, with the Honeywell partnership dating to 2016.

The company is also licensed to handle controlled precursor chemicals and dual-use products subject to state expert control, which serves as a regulatory moat for sensitive chemical imports. Realab serves four primary verticals: pharmaceutical manufacturers (its primary segment, with named customers including AT "FARMАК"/Pharmak), food and beverage testing laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and research/educational institutions. The go-to-market combines a self-service e-commerce platform with a direct field sales force of technically trained account managers who conduct customer visits and provide consultation requiring chemistry or biology expertise. Pricing is transactional (per-unit with volume discounts), denominated in Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH), with products ranging from under 1,000 UAH to millions of UAH for bulk quantities.

The business is founder/owner-operated with 11-50 employees, no disclosed external investment, no parent company, and no public financial disclosures. Realab supplements distribution with co-marketing activities including joint webinars with partners (Phenomenex, Solstice), trade show participation, and a multi-channel digital presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Telegram, and Twitter. The company offers a Guaranteed Replacement Program and Technical Support Program as customer-facing value-added services. Headcount growth signals and recent partner additions (CPAchem in February 2026, Lab.Instruments in January 2024) indicate ongoing incremental expansion of supplier network and product breadth within the Ukrainian market.
