Our company’s heritage dates back to 1935, when Dr. Arnold Beckman founded National Technical Laboratories in California. That year, he sold 87 of his recently patented pH meters, a groundbreaking technology that could be used for everything from water quality testing to laboratory research. Our mission today, which has changed little since 1935, is to empower those who are seeking answers to life’s important scientific and healthcare questions. This mission embodies all our efforts to help customers get the data and answers they need, when they need them.
