Omicron Scientific

What Omicron Scientific does

Omicron Scientific, Inc. is a privately held US manufacturer of laboratory filtration consumables, founded in 2015 and headquartered in a 19,000+ sq.ft. clean-room facility in Marietta, Georgia. The company designs, produces, tests, and packages membrane-based filtration products — principally disposable syringe filters in Nylon, PVDF, PES, PTFE, Cellulose Acetate, Cellulose Nitrate, and Glass Fiber membranes — alongside membrane filters, glass fiber filters, qualitative filter paper, and stainless-steel filter holders and manifolds. Its portfolio spans pore ratings from 0.2µm to 0.8µm, sizes from 4mm to 50mm, sterile and non-sterile variants, and differentiated multi-layered syringe filters with integrated glass fiber prefilters. Manufacturing, QC, and validation are fully in-house, and the operation holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and CE certifications, supporting sales into pharmaceutical, biotech, and regulated laboratory buyers.

The business model is a mix of branded consumables sales (the majority of revenue) and OEM/private-label manufacturing on request. Go-to-market combines a 20-person field marketing and sales team targeting enterprise accounts with phone/email direct sales, alongside marketplace listings on Amazon, Sigma-Aldrich, and LabX that reach SMB, individual, and mid-market lab buyers. Target end markets include laboratory research and analytical testing (HPLC/LC-MS sample prep), pharmaceutical and biotechnology QC and bioprocess venting, and industrial/environmental testing for gravimetric and microbial analysis. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; bulk discounts are referenced and custom quotes are obtained via contact forms or sales representatives. Ownership is private with no disclosed institutional investors or venture backing, and the leadership team publicly identified is led by Abhay Jain as VP Sales & Marketing.
