About Us

In partnership with our customers and suppliers, we obtain scientific products to solve problems in the laboratory. We serve the medical, research, educational and private sector industries. In doing this we provide value to our customers, employees, investors, and society in a safe and fair way while enhancing the sciences.

Science shop is often referred to as Rose, the name under which it was first founded in 1990. The founders, having long experience in the laboratory supply industry, saw a need for a laboratory equipment and supply company using knowledgeable representatives to help scientists do their work.

They started with some excellent lines from first tier manufacturers, and from their modest beginning have grown to a company with international sales and a premiere position in the Canadian industry.

In 1999 we established our first repair and service center equipped to handle all of the instrumentation servicing needs of our customers. Rose also has agreements with third party repair centers to insure that all equipment it distributes is fully and properly supported.

Rose uses a third party (currently Superior Safety Codes ) for performing CSA Inspection and Approval in cases where a manufacturer does not have this Canadian certification at the factory.

Our goal is to maintain sales representatives throughout Canada to provide scientists with quick and personal service. To expedite delivery we have warehouses established in Edmonton, Mississauga and Cincinnati.

The selection of our staff reflects our strategy of employing knowledgeable people who can assist research workers understand the capabilities of the most advanced equipment that becomes available. Our sales people are trained to help our customers get the maximum use out of the dollars that are available to them.

Science Shop is actively seeking sales representatives in British Columbia and the Maritimes. We are always ready to consider representatives who would like to join our team and help us to build in regions in which we would like to expand our efforts
