AB SCIEX, a Framingham life science firm, said it’s expanding its operations in Brazil to support that nation’s growing market for food safety testing, environmental analysis, drug development and other scientific analysis.
AB SCIEX offers mass spectrometry services, a method of discovering the elemental composition of materials and the chemical structures of molecules.
The expansion will include a new customer training center in São Paulo and an expansion of its demo facility to include new laboratory products. The company is also building a direct sales and support structure in Brazil, replacing the indirect distribution system it previously used there.
Besides its Framingham headquarters, according to its website, AB SCIEX has centers of excellence in California, Singapore, Toronto, China, Australia and across Europe. It has direct sales operations in 35 countries.
