North Central Instruments

North Central Instruments is a commercial-stage distributor and solutions provider focused on microscopy, histology, imaging, electron microscopy sample preparation, and cleanroom products for life science, clinical, industrial, and research customers. The company does not appear to be a therapeutics developer; instead, it supplies instruments, consumables, technical support, and consultative sales services. Its microscopy business operates under NCI Micro and includes Leica regional dealership activities, while its cleanroom business operates under NCI Clean and provides modular cleanrooms, controlled-environment supplies, apparel, furniture, and contamination-control products. North Central Instruments was acquired by Thomas Scientific in 2022 and now operates as part of the Thomas Scientific organization from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
