Overview
Accuris Instruments is an American brand of scientific equipment and life science reagents. It operates as a division of Benchmark Scientific, a laboratory products company based in Edison, New Jersey. According to the company's own description, Accuris Instruments and Accuris Life Science Reagents were created as separate divisions of Benchmark Scientific to develop a distinct focus on new product lines. While Benchmark Scientific built its reputation as a market leader in lab shakers, incubators, and small centrifugation products, the Accuris divisions expanded into precision liquid handling, laboratory weighing, electrophoresis, and PCR reagents. The Accuris product portfolio spans several laboratory workflow categories. In molecular biology and PCR, the brand offers endpoint PCR reagents, qPCR and cDNA synthesis kits, and sequencing kits, including the SmartDye Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit. In laboratory weighing, it markets a broad range of balances: the Series Dx analytical balances, Series Tx analytical and semi-micro balances, analytical balance series, precision balance series, compact balance series, mini lab balance series, and calibration weights. In liquid handling, Accuris offers the AutoMATE 96 microplate pipetting workstation, the Aspire laboratory aspirator, and NextPette precision pipettes. Its electrophoresis line includes the GenoSep capillary electrophoresis system, MyGel InstaView systems, MyGel Mini, MyVolt Mini power supply, MyVolt Touch power supply, QuickSilver powdered buffer packs, SmartBlue transilluminator, SmartDoc enclosure and imaging system, SmartCheck DNA ladders and protein markers, SmartGlow DNA stains, and UV transilluminators. For microplate-based workflows, Accuris supplies the SmartReader Multimode, SmartReader UV-Vis, and SmartReader 96 microplate readers, the SmartWasher 96 microplate washer, and the SmartSeal microplate sealer. Additional product areas include the QuadCount automated cell counter, magnetic bead-based purification systems (IsoPure 96 and IsoPure Mini), nano spectrophotometers and fluorometers (Smart-Q Fluorometer and Smart-Q Mini Fluorometer), Accuris quantification kits, and SmartDrop nano spectrophotometers. The brand is positioned as a provider of accessible, workflow-oriented laboratory instruments and reagents, with product names such as SmartReader, SmartSeal, SmartDoc, and SmartDrop emphasizing ease of use and integration. Accuris sells through its official website, accuris-usa.com, and offers customer support, service request forms, technical support, a PCR selector tool, product videos, and careers information. The company's contact number is 908-769-5555 and its general email is info@accuris-usa.com. Accuris Instruments is not a publicly listed company; it is a private brand under Benchmark Scientific.
History
Accuris Instruments was established as a division of Benchmark Scientific, a laboratory products company based in Edison, New Jersey. According to the company's About Us page, Accuris Instruments and Accuris Life Science Reagents were created to develop a separate focus on new product lines. Benchmark Scientific had already become a market leader in lab shakers, incubators, and small centrifugation products; the new Accuris divisions were formed to expand into precision liquid handling, laboratory weighing, electrophoresis, and PCR reagents. The brand's growth has been organized around distinct product families. In liquid handling, Accuris introduced the AutoMATE 96 microplate pipetting workstation, the Aspire laboratory aspirator, and NextPette precision pipettes. In laboratory weighing, it built out a broad portfolio ranging from compact and mini lab balances to analytical and semi-micro balances, along with calibration weights. In electrophoresis, the brand developed the GenoSep capillary electrophoresis system, MyGel InstaView systems, MyGel Mini, MyVolt Mini and MyVolt Touch power supplies, QuickSilver powdered buffer packs, SmartBlue transilluminators, SmartDoc enclosures and imaging systems, SmartCheck DNA ladders and protein markers, SmartGlow DNA stains, and UV transilluminators. In molecular biology reagents, Accuris Life Science Reagents supplies endpoint PCR reagents, qPCR and cDNA synthesis kits, and sequencing kits, including the SmartDye Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit. For microplate-based workflows, the company offers the SmartReader Multimode, SmartReader UV-Vis, and SmartReader 96 microplate readers, the SmartWasher 96 microplate washer, and the SmartSeal microplate sealer. Additional product areas include the QuadCount automated cell counter, IsoPure 96 and IsoPure Mini magnetic bead-based purification systems, Smart-Q and Smart-Q Mini fluorometers, Accuris quantification kits, and SmartDrop nano spectrophotometers. The brand markets its products through its official website, accuris-usa.com, and provides customer support, service request forms, technical support, a PCR selector tool, product videos, and careers information. Accuris Instruments is a private brand under Benchmark Scientific and is not publicly listed.
