Five specialist demonstration rooms
Each room is dedicated to a specific technology area and kept in fully operational condition — so you can see instruments running under realistic conditions, not just switched on for a visit.
Optical, digital and industrial microscopy. Evident DSX2000 and the full Evident microscope and camera range.
Balances, pH meters, stirrers, liquid handling, ultrasonic processors and fume cupboards from A&D, D-Lab and more.
Particle size, fluorescence, flow injection analysis and discrete analysers. HORIBA and SEAL Analytical instruments.
Fusion systems, pellet presses, calorimeters and sieve shakers. Katanax, Maasen, DDS and Nexopart.
WDXRF, EDXRF and XRD instruments from Rigaku — Supermini200, MiniFlex 600, NEX CG II, NEX DE and NEX QC+.

Five dedicated demo rooms at our head office in Richmond, Johannesburg. See instruments operating under real conditions and run your own samples where possible.
