Harvard Apparatus, Inc.

Harvard Apparatus was founded in 1903. Frustrated by the lack of high quality equipment then available, Dr. William T. Porter of the Harvard Medical School began manufacturing his own high quality physiology teaching equipment. His equipment gained an enviable reputation for reliability and began to be known simply as "Harvard Apparatus". The name stuck.

Harvard Apparatus developed a name not only for quality but also for innovation. Harvard Apparatus invented the mechanical syringe pump in the 1950s and introduced the first microprocessor controlled syringe pumps in the 1980s. Today Harvard continues this tradition with the most advanced, easiest-to-use programmable syringe pumps, the PHD 2000 series. Harvard also developed first volume controlled and then pressure controlled ventilators, pulsatile blood pumps, transducers, amplifiers, recorders, glassware and many other specialized bioscience research products. This trend culminates in the most comprehensive bioscience catalog ever produced. This catalog, which is fully searchable in our web site, contains a carefully selected range of specialized bioscience products designed to help you get better research results in less time. In this catalog we offer a greatly expanded selction of cell biology products based on those we acquired from Medical Systems Corporation in July 1998. Our products are available through Harvard in the USA, UK, France and Canada and through distributors in the rest of the world.
