such as the atomic absorption spectrophotometers and the infrared spec- trophotometers are designed and manufactured in-house in Buck’s facility in Norwalk, Conn., U.S.A. Metal instrument components are machined to high specifications in local machine shops. In most instances, where a com- petitor inserts a plastic part into an instrument, Buck creates the equivalent component out of aircraft-grade metal, promoting increased performance, longevity, and lower maintenance costs. Strict attention to detail and quality translates to better measurements and lower cost per sample.
Q: What industries are most commonly utilizing your instruments?
A: Because Buck Scientific’s instruments are ruggedly durable and afford- able; they are immensely popular with academia, the petroleum industry, mining, wastewater and environmental analysis and chemical companies.
Q: Please describe Buck’s global outreach.
A: In the late ’80s, Buck Scientific reached into India, where its instruments became workhorses in laboratories demanding reliability, performance and limited upkeep. Since then, its reach into Europe, Southeast Asia, Asia and Arabian markets greatly expanded. Buck Scientific will be showcasing in Dubai at the ARABLAB conference 2015 from March 23 to 26, 2015. International customers receive the same quality customer service as all of Buck’s customers. Because of its reputation for quality, simplicity and
low cost, Buck is quite popular with the international crowd: commonly, the instruments showcased at Buck tradeshow exhibits are purchased “on the spot” at international events. For example, Buck’s M530 Quick-Scan Infrared Spectrophotometer costs roughly half that of competitive FTIR units—and it’s by far the easiest to maintain, translating to a “win” for international (and domestic) customers!
Q: Buck Scientific is known for quality, affordable instruments. What is the latest model showcasing this mantra?
A: Buck Scientific has teamed up with Nanalysis Corporation out of Canada to sell and support a new groundbreaking benchtop NMR spectrometer for under $50,000. The Canadian-made NMReady is about the size of a shoebox and comes with an easy-to-use graphical user interface. It is a revolutionary instrument in terms of its cost, size and ease of use. Now, budget-conscious research settings, such as academic labs, can reach out for NMR instrumentation. Some NMR instruments, especially in the early days, easily took up the space of an entire room and required dedicated operators. The NMReady, like all of our other instruments, is also supported by the same family-oriented customer service that Buck is known for.
