What Razel Scientific Instruments does

Razel Scientific Instruments is a US-based manufacturer of syringe pumps and accessories for the scientific research community, founded in 1968 and headquartered in St. Albans, Vermont. The company designs, manufactures, and supports its entire product line in-house at a single Vermont facility, with a portfolio spanning single-speed pumps (R-E, R-DE, R-200), variable-speed pumps (R99-E, R-210), a programmable pump (R100-EC), a safety pump (R-100E), a high/low-speed precision pump (R-104A), the Infusion Pump Control (IPC) software, and 115V/230V motor accessories. Customers are primarily researchers in universities, neuroscience labs, and general laboratory settings requiring precise, long-duration fluid delivery, with the Society for Neuroscience community identified as a major demand vertical.

Razel is a division of Mansfield Research and Development, LLC, operating within a family of companies that includes Med Associates, Florida Research Instruments, Catamount Research & Development, Living Systems Instrumentation, and Discount Disposables. Go-to-market is quote-based (pricing not publicly disclosed) with factory-direct sales in the United States and a regional distributor network covering England/Europe (OCB Systems Ltd), Japan (Muromachi), Thailand (Charan Associates), and France (ThermoFisher). In 2020 the company migrated its product listings and quote-request functionality to the parent Med Associates website, simplifying its own site to a landing page. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, revenue, headcount, or M&A activity, and emphasizes brand heritage, citation-backed credibility, in-house manufacturing, and a one-year warranty as the core of its value proposition.
