Try changing your first query to this:
$global $query_string;
WP_Query($query_string . "&posts_per_page=10&category_name=life-sciences&paged=".$paged);

Pippin Williamson comments:
Ok, try replacing
$the_query = new WP_Query("posts_per_page=10&category_name=life-sciences&paged=".$paged);
with:
$global $query_string;
query_posts($query_string . "&posts_per_page=10&category_name=life-sciences&paged=".$paged);
and then replace
<?php $count=0; while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
with
<?php $count=0; while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

Sorry!

David Navarrete answers:
you could will try with this
global $wp_query;
and use query_posts instead of WP_Query
Espreson Media comments:
"Sorry" this thing is not working..
Breaking the code when next page browsed...
There are two different category "Life Sciences" and "General Lab" and there are sub-categorical product on "Life Sciences".
Now in "General Lab" has all the sub-category and products which "Life sciences" have. Same product.

try this :
change the code :
$the_query = new WP_Query("posts_per_page=10&category_name=life-sciences&paged=".$paged); ?>
with :
query_posts("posts_per_page=10&category_name=life-sciences&paged=".$paged);
global $wp_query;
?>
and then change :
<?php if ( $the_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
with
<?php if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
hope this help

Hi,
With reference to WordPress Template hierarchy. http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
Why don't you try using different category templates.
category-{slug}.php - If the category's slug were general-lab, WordPress would look for category-general-lab.php
Use a normal WordPress loop in the template and your pagination issues will be solved.
Use category.php for your other categories and use category-{slug}.php for all special categories that you want to have different styles or codes or highlights.
Thanks.
