Kendro Laboratory Products

Kendro Laboratory Products was a leading global manufacturer of laboratory equipment used in life science research, clinical diagnostics, and industrial applications. The company was formed through the integration of several iconic brands, including Sorvall, Heraeus, and Revco, providing a comprehensive portfolio of centrifuges, incubators, and ultra-low temperature freezers. Kendro's products were essential for sample preparation, processing, and storage in biotechnology and pharmaceutical laboratories worldwide. In 2005, the company was acquired by Thermo Electron Corporation for approximately $833.5 million. Following the merger of Thermo Electron and Fisher Scientific, Kendro's legacy brands became core components of Thermo Fisher Scientific's laboratory equipment division.
