What Eletrolab does

Eletrolab Indústria e Comércio de Equipamentos para Laboratório Ltda. is a privately held Brazilian manufacturer founded in 1982 and headquartered in São Paulo, where it operates a 1,700m² owned manufacturing facility. The company designs and builds controlled-environment laboratory equipment, with a product portfolio spanning nine lines: B.O.D. climate chambers (EL100 series), photoperiod chambers (EL200 series), large-format walk-in chambers (EL011), Mangelsdorf-type germinators (EL006), horizontal germinators (EL005), bacteriological culture ovens (EL401), sterilization and drying ovens (EL402/412 and EL403/413), and vertical autoclaves (EL503). Its equipment integrates proprietary digital microprocessed controllers for temperature, humidity, and CO2, with features including ±0.3°C temperature accuracy, ultrasonic humidity nebulization at 1.7MHz, photoperiod programming with 6500K LED lighting, and CO2 injection up to 2000 p.p.m. in walk-in chambers. Eletrolab pioneered electronic digital temperature control, high-frequency humidity nebulization, and CO2 injection control in Brazilian laboratory equipment.

The company sells primarily through direct sales with quote-based pricing, supported by an owned Brazil-wide delivery fleet and a technical assistance business that maintains mobile repair units serving São Paulo state daily and other regions by appointment. Customers include Brazilian universities (USP, UFLA, UNESP), government research institutes (Embrapa, CATI, ITAL, CETESB), and enterprise clients across agronomy/agribusiness (BASF, Syngenta, Monsanto), pharmaceuticals (Aché, Bayer, Baruel), cosmetics (Natura), and water/sanitation (Sabesp, DAE). R&D is led by a USP-trained physicist and draws on collaborative relationships with Brazilian university researchers. Revenue is generated from one-time equipment sales, custom project consulting, and recurring technical assistance services covering both Eletrolab and third-party equipment brands. The company operates exclusively in the Brazilian domestic market and has no disclosed external institutional investors, subsidiaries, or parent entities.
