Burleigh Instruments has announced that as of 24 October 2001 that it will be changing its trading name to Scientifica
The move is as a result of the increased portfolio of products that the company is now able to offer to UK customers for photonics and life science research applications.
Managing director Mark Johnson commented "having successfully supported the range of Burleigh Instruments photonics and life science products in the UK for over five years, our recent agreement to distribute the complete range of fibre-optic test and measurement equipment from Exfo was a catalyst to change the company's trading name to Scientifica." He added "carefully adding several new ranges of innovative photonics and life science products, and concentrating on strong customer support, has allowed us to grow markedly over the last few years." Complementing its own range of life science manipulators, Scientifica has exclusive UK distribution agreements with Multi-Channel Systems (neuroscience and nuclear physics research), ALA Scientific Instruments (pharmacological testing) and NPI electronics (electrophysiology research).
