It is now 52 years since Ernest Dawes established Scientific Glass Engineering in a tiny garage at the backyard of a house in Melbourne, Australia. Today, SGE has two modern facilities engaged in developing and manufacturing Chromatography and Analytical Products. SGE has grown substantially with over 400 employees and a distribution and support network in nine countries, including worldwide distribution partners.The SGE team is continually developing innovative ideas for products and technologies that make a difference for our customers.

 

SGE started solely as a syringe manufacturer, but now manufactures a vast array of products for chromatography and mass spectroscopy. SGE is an ISO accredited company. We are proud of the fact that all major instrument manufacturers in our field rely on and incorporate SGE manufactured components in their systems.

For the future we remain heavily committed to our research and development, to allow us to continue to bring innovative technologies and solutions to our valued partners in analytical science in all corners of the world. 

ETP, is a leading manufacturer of product solutions for mass spectrometry with a specialism in detectors, associated components and detector design.

This expertise integrates with SGE's worldwide technical and distribution network enabling a global presence.

ETP has won an R&D100 award for it's MagneTof™ detector for Time of Flight (ToF) instruments. MagneTOF™ detectors provide ToF instrumentation with the capabilities to achieve their designed analysis capabilities enabling faster response and high resolution. For more information on MagneTOF™
