About BrandTech Scientific
About BrandTech Scientific
BrandTech Scientific was established in 1996 as the first dedicated sales and distribution division of BRAND GMBH + CO KG, a German laboratory instrument maker founded decades earlier by Rudolf Brand. Based in Essex, Connecticut, the division was built to give US and Canadian labs faster logistics, local technical service, and direct support for products engineered at BRAND's German manufacturing facilities.
The company's core expertise is liquid handling, a field BRAND entered in 1967 with its first bottle-top dispenser, marketed at the time as "The Fast Pipette." BrandTech Scientific now distributes pipettes, dispensers, and dilutors under the BRAND, VACUUBRAND, and VITLAB names, serving chemistry, life science, and quality-control labs across North America.
With roughly 40 employees and its own logistics center, BrandTech Scientific pairs German precision manufacturing with US-based technical service and short delivery times. On ChatMRO, procurement teams can search by pipette volume range, dispenser chemical compatibility, or calibration need instead of hunting through a parts catalog.

Frequently asked questions
What product lines does BrandTech Scientific distribute?
BrandTech Scientific is the North American distribution arm for BRAND, VACUUBRAND, and VITLAB, covering pipettes, bottle-top dispensers, dilutors, and vacuum pumps. Most of these instruments are manufactured in Germany and shipped through BrandTech's US logistics center for faster regional delivery.
How do I choose between a pipette and a bottle-top dispenser?
Pipettes are suited to variable, sample-to-sample volume transfers, while bottle-top dispensers mount directly on a reagent bottle for repetitive dispensing of a fixed volume. Labs running high-throughput repetitive dispensing, such as media preparation, typically standardize on dispensers to reduce contamination risk and operator fatigue.
Does BrandTech Scientific offer calibration services?
Yes, BrandTech Scientific provides calibration and service support for its pipettes and dispensers through its US technical service team, helping labs maintain ISO 17025-traceable accuracy. Many labs schedule recalibration annually or per their internal quality system's required interval.
What industries use BrandTech Scientific's liquid handling equipment?
BrandTech Scientific's products serve pharmaceutical, biotech, academic research, environmental testing, and industrial quality-control labs that need precise, repeatable liquid transfers. The VACUUBRAND vacuum pump line additionally supports filtration, evaporation, and degassing workflows common in these same labs.
Can ChatMRO help me find a specific BRAND or VACUUBRAND part number?
Yes, you can search ChatMRO using the part number, volume range, or application and it will match you to the correct BrandTech Scientific product. If you're unsure of the exact model, describing your lab's throughput and sample type will help narrow the results.
