History
The company was the creation of former managing director Mark Johnson and his partner David Rogerson who purchased a subsidiary of Burleigh Inc. In 2003 the company moved from being a distributor to a manufacturer of its own products. Their products are sold worldwide, including Europe, The United States of America (USA), Brazil, India, China, Korea, Singapore, Japan and Russia. The largest market is the United States but around thirty countries have bought Scientifica instruments.
Philosophy
Johnson and Rogerson's motivation was to provide bespoke and well tested products to electrophysiology and imaging researchers. Electrophysiology is the study and measurement of the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues, and Scientifica's products are used extensively to broaden the understanding of the nervous and cardiac systems, particularly diseases that include: Alzheimers, Parkinsons and Epilepsy.
