Scientist.com, the biopharma industry’s leading R&D marketplace, today announced the expansion of VERIF.i, the company’s supplier pre-assessment program, to include Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC). CMC suppliers undergo an independent 3rd party pre-assessment, which can then be shared with their entire customer base.

“On-site lab assessments are expensive, time-consuming and labor intensive. VERIF.i alleviates this by enabling an independent 3rd party to confirm that a supplier meets a customer’s research and regulatory requirements,” stated Matt McLoughlin, Sr. VP of Categories & Compliance at Scientist.com. “Pre-assessments help customers speed up supplier selection and purchase highly technical services with more confidence and less risk.”

The pre-assessments performed under VERIF.i are completed with the same independence and objectivity as a study-specific audit but can be applied across multiple clients, saving suppliers time, money and resources. VERIF.i also gives suppliers of regulated research services, such as human biospecimen acquisition—and now chemistry, manufacturing and controls—the opportunity to proactively communicate their quality standards against pre-defined criteria developed with industry partners for use across the biopharma industry.

Klarna has received a favorable ruling in PriceRunner litigation, awarding damages of $1.97 billion1.7.2026 14:19:00 EEST | Press release

Klarna Group plc (NYSE: KLAR) today announces that the court has ruled in PriceRunner’s favor, awarding $1.97 billion in damages in an antitrust case brought by PriceRunner against Google. The award compensates for lost revenue caused by Google's preferential treatment of its own comparison-shopping service over independent price-comparison services, conduct that also drives up costs for consumers. "When markets work well, everyone benefits. Consumers get higher quality at lower cost, companies stay focused on serving customers rather than defending position, and society is better off for it. This ruling supports a healthier, more competitive market for the way people compare products and services — and that is good for everyone who shops," said Dan Greaves, Head of Communications and Policy, Klarna. Klarna acquired PriceRunner in 2022 to add rich product discovery, price comparisons, and product reviews to the Klarna app, and drive high-intent traffic to retail partners. Klarna has si
