Celebrating 75 Years in Scientific and Medical Equipment Manufacturing

Jul 25 2022

LTE Scientific是英国历史最悠久、备受尊敬的科学和医疗设备制造商之一，将于2022年庆祝其行业服务75周年。公司成立于1947年，前身为实验室热设备有限公司，生产一系列的实验室烤箱，孵化器和水浴。许多科学家可能仍然记得奶油、圆角的烤箱和孵化器，这是许多实验室常见的景象，许多实验室至今仍在工作。

During the 50’s and 60’s the company developed and produced the MAFF biological safety cabinet, specialist pharmaceutical sterilizing ovens and baby incubators, before becoming part of the Baird and Tatlock Group (B&T) which, comprising of many different equipment manufacturers during the 60s to the 80’s, served all areas of the life science markets. It was as part of the B&T group, during the early 70s, that LTE expanded into the manufacture of laboratory autoclaves, as well as the AF range of Karl Fisher titrators.

In 1987 when the Baird and Tatlock Group was disbanded, the company was bought by Harvard Bioscience and for a few years was known as Harvard/LTE; 5 years later in 1992, it returned to private ownership and became known as LTE Scientific Ltd. Since that time, it has continued to develop its product ranges, specialising in its core areas of steam sterilisation, infection prevention, thermal processing equipment and stability test chambers/rooms.

Remaining faithful to its origins, LTE still manufactures a wide range of ovens, incubators and drying cabinets and with its flagship Touchclave range launched in 2004, has established itself as a leading international laboratory autoclave and medical steriliser manufacturer. During 2007, the company diversified further with a move into the endoscopy sector. Its range of Scope-Store endoscope drying and storage cabinets are said to be able to maintain an endoscope’s post-processing conditions for up to 30 days.

凭借其多年的经验，该公司可以从其核心系列中提供改进产品，定制解决方案，特别是环境控制稳定性测试室，通常需要为每个单独的安装定制。LTE还因其售后服务中心在市场上赢得了良好的声誉，在全国范围内雇用了14名工程师，对其整个产品系列以及英国其他主要品牌进行服务和维护访问和验证测试。

Over the years LTE has seen continuous growth and for the future has exciting plans in place, including new product development, staff growth and a keen focus on providing reliable and efficient products and after-sales care in the sterilisation, infection prevention and thermal processing sectors of the life science and medical industries.
