We sell the instruments we build in Istanbul directly, with no intermediaries: 16 countries from South and Southeast Asia to Russia and the CIS, plus the European Union.
We Build the Instrument Ourselves
The photographs below were taken on our own factory floor in Istanbul. These are not instruments we buy in and re-label — they are instruments whose chassis we machine, whose panels we wire and whose software we write.
The control software is ours too
Video description (silent, 30 seconds)
The video shows a pH CORE instrument in the workshop. A cylindrical test chamber stands at the front, beside a touchscreen control panel. The display shows program information, a green START button and an orange STOP button. Cables, hand tools and assembly parts surround the instrument. There is no audio or speech.
The video shows a pH CORE unit running on our factory floor. The programme, time and temperature interface on that screen is control software we wrote ourselves. Body, mechanics, panel and software all come from the same roof.
Design and prototyping stay in-house as well: first-off parts are printed on our own 3D printers, then released to production once proven.
