SPEX SamplePrep: from SPEX® to Cole-Parmer®
The SPEX SamplePrep brand name, whose best-known products include the 2010 Geno/Grinder and Freezer/Mill, no longer exists.
SPEX® was purchased by Cole Parmer, part of Antylia Scientific, in 2019. Until now, SPEX has continued to exist as the brand name for the products we represent. However, that has now changed; Cole Parmer has now consolidated the various brands they purchased into one world-class brand. The idea behind it is that they want to provide one brand experience of significance.
Besides a cosmetic change to the products, this brand change does not affect the product features you are used to from SPEX.
What does change are the type numbers of the various products:
