BRASS™ was conceived in the National University of Singapore (NUS) on May 1996 with the primary aim of supporting medical device development from concept into reality.
The brainchild of Assoc. Prof. Eugene Khor, BRASS™ is the answer to the biomedical industry’s need for vital infrastructure in support of the medical devices industry. BRASS™ was registered in December 1997 (hence “SINCE 1997”) and in April 1, 1999, the NUS incubation component of BRASS was granted permission to spin-off as a separate entity.
BRASS™ was awarded sole distributorship for the Charles River Endosafe brand of LAL Bacterial Endotoxin Test reagents in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, an achievement that still remains to this day. With its growing success, BRASS™ was able to secure a partnership with the North American Science Associates, Inc. (NAMSA), the world leader in medical device safety evaluation, in July 2002. With this strategic alliance, BRASS™ is able to provide the full panel of GLP ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing, functional and performance studies, and material characterization to the medical device industry as well as gained the rights to distribute the full series of NAMSA Sterilization Assurance Products in several territories in the Asia Pacific region. In 2011, BRASS™ successfully attained representation for Charles River Biopharmaceutical Services in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam.
Thirteen years since its humble beginnings, BRASS™ has grown from strength to strength, and counts as its clients various multinational industry leaders, innovative start-ups and research institutes from the pharmaceutical and medical device industry in South East Asia.
Quality Product Provider: broad range of high quality and reliable media, packaging and sterilization assurance products.
