Hanna Instruments

Hanna Instruments is a private, active manufacturer of analytical instrumentation and laboratory testing equipment rather than a drug-development biotech or pharmaceutical company. Founded in 1978 in Italy, the company develops and sells a broad portfolio of products including pH meters, photometers, titrators, conductivity meters, dissolved oxygen meters, turbidity meters, electrodes, and related consumables for laboratory, industrial, water, food, beverage, agriculture, and environmental applications. The company states that it designs and manufactures products from concept through production and operates globally through offices in dozens of countries. In healthcare and life-science contexts, Hanna is best characterized as a diagnostics/lab tools and research equipment supplier, not a therapeutic developer. Its business is commercial-stage product sales and support, with no evident clinical pipeline of drugs or biologic programs.
