Laboratory Machines and Equipment

[pyroglycerine]

Hello

 

In regards to laboratory machines such as mass spectrometers, electron microscopes, sterilization units, etc. Who are the leading manufacturers and suppliers? Are there any large companies that produce everything from spectrometers to hot plates or do all these products have separate manufacturers?

 

Thanks for your time,

Regards,

Individual manufacturers produce the things you described. Some manufacturers have merged into larger companies (such as GE or Thermo Fisher) and may sell instruments with under the same label. The production and development is down in the respective sub-branches though. And considering the range of instruments being described I cannot think of a single company that is doing everything. With regards to leading, that would depend on the instrument.

As well as depending on the instrument, it may also depend on exactly what you plan on using it for. There are also other things to consider, such as how available and proficient the company's technical support and application specialists are. If you have a specific list of machines, that may be more helpful here.
