About Instrument Choice
The Instrument Choice Story
Instrument Choice's parent company Synotronics was founded in 2007 to design and manufacture temperature and humidity data loggers. The business founders were scientists with first-hand experience of the needs of laboratories, educational institutions, consultants, businesses, and the science enthusiast community.
In 2007, motivated by a growing desire to better serve customers, Synotronics pioneered online shopping for scientific instruments in Australia with an extended product range and upgraded web presence. The online store was rebranded and further upgraded in 2008 to become Instrument Choice. To date, the business has experienced extraordinary and consistent growth.
