What JEIO TECH does

JEIO TECH (제이오텍) is a South Korean manufacturer of laboratory and environmental testing equipment founded in 1988 and operating under the "Lab Companion" brand. The company designs and produces a broad portfolio of scientific instruments including heating baths and circulators (BW, CW, RW, and BS series), forced convection, vacuum, and natural convection ovens (OF4, OV4, ON4), air-jacket and low-temperature incubators, orbital, reciprocal, and stackable incubated shakers (ISS-7100R), hotplates and stirrers, vertical autoclaves (ST-G series), biosafety cabinets and PCR workstations (JB, BC, UVC, PW-01), desiccators, temperature/humidity stability chambers (TH4-ICH), and recirculating chillers (HX, HL series). Underlying control technology includes microprocessor PID control with ±0.05°C stability, programmable controllers with 10 programs of 10 steps (up to 99 hours each), and proprietary IoT layers (LC GreenBox mobile monitoring connecting up to four devices per unit, and LC DataKeeper for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant data management).

The company serves research laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturers requiring GMP-compliant equipment, biotech startups, and industrial testing customers in temperature cycling and reliability applications. Its customer base is horizontal across multiple use cases including biology, chemistry, medicine, and pharmacology research.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of instruments, accessories, and consumables, supplemented by software licensing for LC DataKeeper (Basic and Pro versions). Equipment is priced across a wide band—from basic magnetic stirrers at $198 and standard incubators at $1,299–$1,580 to advanced PCR workstations at $2,799—with a clearance/refurbished channel offering significant discounts. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct e-commerce on jeiotechus.com for North America (with US-based service and warehouse fulfillment), wholly-owned sales subsidiaries in Korea (Daejeon HQ and Seoul international sales office), the United States (Billerica, MA), and Japan (Tokyo), and a distributor network spanning over 85 countries.
