Scientific Instruments & Labs (2835-SI)

Scientific Instrument Manufacturers, Research Labs, and Test Laboratories utilize plastic materials in scientific instruments for analysis of chemical, electrical or physical properties. Demand is driven by spending on laboratory analysis services, scientific research, and other end-user markets. The profitability of individual companies depends on controlling manufacturing costs and maintaining continuous, rapid product innovation cycles. Major products include chromatographic instruments, mass spectrometers, pH meters, and thermal analysis systems. Companies in this industry may also produce pipettes, vials, reagents, and other laboratory consumables. These products are used to analyze the chemical or physical properties of various materials or compounds. Professional Plastics offers a broad range of plastics, composites and technical ceramics used in scientific instruments, including high-purity tubing and structural components.
