To a chemistry lab., developed in the mid 1960's, was added in the early 1970's an Electron Microscopy consulting division, that became in 1974; MECALAB.

The original name was: Laboratoires de Microscopie, d'Électronique, de Chimie et d’Accessoires Ltée. M.E.C.A.LAB Ltd. The goal in those early days, was to make available to fellow scientists, accessibility of various electron microscopes plus the capabilities, knowledge and knowhow to conclude their E.M. works / ideas. Our research works in T.E.M. / S.E.M., for some scientists, has led to publications that enabled them to acquire, through grants, their own facilities.

We have been the consulting company helping somes hospitals built their own

E.M. departments.

At the same time, the needs for various E.M. chemicals and accessories was in demand, and MECALAB went into developing those. Years of hard work paid off for the scientific community by, for example, the development of Ultrapure Glutaraldehyde. Indefinitely stable at room temperature with only one absorption peak at 280nm (U.V. spec.), this product represent the absolute in quality. You can read more in our chemical section. Then, demands by distributors, in Canada, U.S.A., U.K. and Germany, made our products available to more scientists.


One more facet of MECALAB Ltd., was to increase our services for optical microscopes. Again, in there, was a need to maintain, restore, repair and modify instruments for all the various scientific communities; Medical to Physical sciences. Governments to individuals plus insurance companies. Pierre Daignault, our founding scientist, has taught both electron and light microscopy at Universities, for more than 20 years. Good background to help fellow microscopists in their quests.

 

 

Today we continue to manufacture and supply customers and distributors with our E.M. chemicals, as far as China.

We still make E.M. accessories.


We’ve added, since the early 80's, the sale of microscopes ( new and reconditionned ), from many brands like; MEIJI, MOTIC, LEITZ, LEICA, ZEISS NIKON, LABOMED, etc... Today, we also sell and install digital cameras / analysis software on any microscopes. Sales of digital teaching systems.

 

WE CAN SERVICE / CALIBRATE ANY MICROSCOPE MODEL, YEAR AND MAKE FROM ANY MANUFACTURER AROUND THE GLOBE.

Services also includes, micromanipulators, antivibration tables, etc ... Our optical microscope services, include labs in Europe and U.S.A. i.e.; The Museum of Natural History of New York.

 

 
The MECALAB team.
.
Our dated (20 years old) web site, is now renewed and in constant evolution, so watch for new add-on.
The MECALAB logo represent it all; half of a T.E.M. grid over a conventional microscope slide,
itself over an S.E.M. stub, all surrounded by a beaker. All of those items beeing supports
in their own discipline.
We remain a small family own company devoted to our clients, and insuring continuity ....
