Dear Mr. Orlando and Ms.
Jay Nguyen,
I hope you are both doing well.
Firstly, we would like to sincerely thank you and the entire Alpha Coach team for
your support, hospitality, and active participation during Analytika Hanoi held
from 22–24 April [Link] was a pleasure for our Managing Director, Mr. Akash
Agarwal, to meet your team and learn more about your business operations and the
Vietnam market.
We were pleased to see the strong presence of your sales and administrative team at
the exhibition, along with the excellent market network you have developed across
Vietnam. We also appreciate your efforts in promoting SRL products in the
market despite the increasing regulatory challenges related to chemical imports.
Based on our discussions during the visit, we believe there is significant potential to
further expand SRL business in Vietnam, particularly by focusing on specialized
and high-value product categories such as the following. We have also provided
their application and related information for an easy understanding.
DPPH
Bile Salts
Fluorescamine
Cell Culture Media
LC-MS Grade Solvents
Karl Fischer Reagents
Other specialty bioreagents and analytical products
1. DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl)
Application – Antioxidant Activity Testing
DPPH is a stable free radical widely used for antioxidant activity
determination.
Commonly used in research, quality control, and product development
laboratories.
DPPH solution changes from deep violet to pale yellow in the presence of
antioxidants.
Analysis is typically performed using a UV-Visible Spectrophotometer at 517
nm.
DPPH∙+AH→DPPH−H+A∙
Where:
o AH = antioxidant
o DPPH• = free radical
o DPPH-H = reduced form
The greater the antioxidant activity: More DPPH radicals are reduced
Greater color fading occurs

Please let us know if you would like us to share a recommended list of 50 additional SRL
products with potential for the Vietnam market. Kindly also advise which industries or
customer segments we should focus on, such as pharma, food, cosmetics, academic, or
testing laboratories, so that we can prepare a more targeted product list accordingly.
We appreciate your valuable feedback regarding the marketing materials and understand
that while the English flyers are well understood by technical scientists, the trade
community may prefer communication in the Vietnamese language. To support your
marketing activities more effectively in the local market, we would like to explore the
possibility of developing localized promotional materials together with your team. In this
regard, would you like us to share the openable/editable CDR files of our flyers
so that your team can translate and adapt them into the Vietnamese language as per local
market requirements? We believe this could help improve communication, customer
engagement, and overall product visibility in Vietnam. Please let us know your thoughts,
and we will be happy to coordinate further.
We would also like to request your team to consider listing the complete SRL product
portfolio on your e-commerce platform, rather than limiting the listings only to products
currently imported and stocked locally. We believe this will significantly improve the
visibility of SRL products in the Vietnam market and help generate inquiries for a much
wider range of specialty and high-value products. Many customers today search online
before sending inquiries, and if certain products are not visible on the platform, there is a
possibility of losing potential business opportunities for rare and specialized chemicals.
Displaying the broader SRL portfolio can help strengthen market reach and create
opportunities for future imports based on customer demand.
Additionally, we understand that the import regulations for solvents and chemicals in
Vietnam have recently become more stringent. We would appreciate it if you could share
whether Alpha Coach is planning to obtain any additional licenses or approvals required
under the new regulations for continued importation of chemicals and solvents. Please
let us know if there is any support required from SRL’s side, whether in terms of
technical documentation, product information, regulatory assistance, or any other related
support. We will be happy to coordinate and assist wherever possible to help facilitate
smooth business operations in the market.
Once again, thank you for your continued cooperation and partnership with SRL. We
look forward to strengthening our business relationship and expanding our presence
together in the Vietnam market.
