Our customers are laboratory scientists — from academic labs to global biotechnology corporations — who rely on our equipment to deliver world-changing technologies and therapeutics.

We're a small, family-run company where your contributions matter, get recognized, and get rewarded. We're looking for someone who wants a career, not just a job — and we offer a generous (European-style) PTO plan because we know you will work hard and deserve a life outside of work.

We're looking to expand our team by adding a technical sales scientist to based near a biotechnology hub in the Mid-Atlantic or possibly Southeast region (South of New York down through the Carolinas).
