Tritech Background
Tritech Research was started by Andrew Papp, Ph.D. (Harvard University,1989) a molecular biologist frustrated with over-priced, often poorlydesigned research equipment that can make bench science tedious andunnecessarily time consuming. All the products we offer are designed topromote research. Some items do this by saving time so researchers canget more done, while others save them money. Each product we offer hasbeen designed and tested under laboratory conditions with utility,convenience, quality, and economy in mind. When customers call to placean order or for customer service, their questions are answered by askilled research biologist who can explain all the features (and anylimitations) of our products. We gladly recommend solutions even ifthey involve products from other companies. We are open to, and appreciate, suggestions on how wecan improve our products or service, as well as to new product ideas.We can even design custom equipment for unique research needs atreasonable prices.

We are environmentally conscious. Quality comes first, but TritechResearch makes an effort to use recycled and/or recyclable materials inour insulations, packaging, and packing. We have unbeatable savings.Our products are the best values around. Labs outside of Californiasave even more with no sales tax.
Company philosophy: Our goal is not to have the most customers -it is to have the most happy customers(see a partial list, below). Word-of-mouth advertising and repeatcustomers allow us to focus our resources on developing new productsand providing great service rather than on sales and advertisingcampaigns.
Awards and Intellectual Property
Recipient of National Institute of Health Small Business Innovation andResearch (NIH SBIR) Phase I and II grant awards for "Improvements toTumor Cell Electroporation". We used these funds to fully developthe Cloning Gun™ line of electroporation equipment for efficient genetransfer into bacterial and mammalian cells, the disposable Pipectrode™, and brought them to market.
