Scientech is a pioneer in the design and manufacture of analytical instruments. For over fifty years, Scientech has been providing quality, American-made precision weighing and laser power measurement equipment to laboratory, analytical, industrial and specialty markets.

Scientech was founded in 1968 by Dr. Robert W. Zimmerer, a former physicist at the National Bureau of Standards located in Boulder, Colorado. A producer of scientific measurement devices utilizing substantial technical expertise, Scientech's first product was the original beamless electronic balance, which Dr. Zimmerer had invented. Scientech was also the first American balance manufacturer to utilize microprocessor technology in its line of electronic top-loading balances. This line included the first external keyboard for balances, which could select various functions such as parts counting, statistics, and weight averaging.
