Core offering

Orchid Scientific designs, manufactures, and supplies laboratory animal housing systems (including Individually Ventilated Caging (IVC) systems, biocontainment cages, and cages for mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and primates) and a wide range of preclinical research instruments (analgesiometers, plethysmometers, rotarods, stereotaxic instruments, organ baths, anesthesia systems, and the Trackezi video tracking software). The company also provides turnkey vivarium design and construction services and post-sale calibration, validation, and Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC).

Product overview

Orchid Scientific is a manufacturer of laboratory animal equipment and research instruments primarily serving pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic research institutions. The company offers a diversified portfolio organized across seven core product categories: (1) Individually Ventilated Caging Systems (IVC) including biocontainment variants with advanced HEPA filtration and PLC monitoring; (2) Preclinical Research Instruments including analgesiometers (hot plate, cold plate, tail flick, paw pressure, electronic von Frey), behavioral assessment tools (rotarod, grip strength meter, actimeter, treadmill), and pain/inflammation testing equipment (plethysmometer, plantar test); (3) Animal Video Tracking Software (Trackezi) featuring automated maze tracking with computer vision capabilities; (4) Pharmaceutical Research Instruments including diffusion cell apparatus and all-purpose equipment; (5) Laboratory Animal Cages and Equipment ranging from mice/rat cages to rabbit and guinea pig enclosures, metabolic cages, and animal furniture; (6) Anesthesia and Ventilator Systems including gas anesthesia delivery, euthanasia systems, and vaporizer calibration services; (7) Digital Stereotaxic Instruments and organ bath systems. Additionally, the company provides turnkey vivarium construction projects and after-sales maintenance services (AMC packages). The product portfolio is characterized by modular instruments designed for preclinical experimentation, behavioral neuroscience research, and GLP-compliant laboratory environments, with the IVC systems and video tracking software representing key technology differentiators.
