Scientech

Scientech is a pioneer in the design and manufacture of analytical instruments. For over fifty years, Scientech has been providing quality, American-made precision weighing and laser power measurement equipment to laboratory, analytical, industrial and specialty markets.

Scientech was founded in 1968 by Dr. Robert W. Zimmerer, a former physicist at the National Bureau of Standards located in Boulder, Colorado.  A producer of scientific measurement devices utilizing substantial technical expertise, Scientech's first product was the original beamless electronic balance, which Dr. Zimmerer had invented. Scientech was also the first American balance manufacturer to utilize microprocessor technology in its line of electronic top-loading balances. This line included the first external keyboard for balances, which could select various functions such as parts counting, statistics, and weight averaging.

Soon after introducing the balance line, Scientech marketed the first commercial laser power and energy measurement system based upon prototypes developed by the National Bureau of Standards. Dr. Zimmerer pioneered the commercial viability of thermopile-based devices, which were rugged, self-calibrating, and extremely accurate. The company has since developed entire lines of laser measurement systems for both continuous wave and repetitively pulsed lasers.

All design and production is completed at Scientech’s headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. The Company is a Just-In-Time/Total Quality Control manufacturer dedicated to customer service and satisfaction. Both product lines carry the prestigious "CE" mark of conformity. Scientech is also an ISO9001 registered company. Five-day turnaround for factory warranty service ensures that our customers are backed by a highly trained and skilled service team.

Scientech has recently entered into an Asset & Technology Acquisition agreement and currently is under contract to sell our real estate property that supports our entire operations. Consequently, with this divestment, Scientech will cease operations and shut down on February 28, 2025.
