A trusted partner in the pharmaceutical industry for analytical instruments.
In a significant milestone for Southern Africa’s scientific community, Labotec is proudly celebrating its 65th anniversary in 2025. Since its founding in 1960 by Klaus Harth, Labotec has evolved into a cornerstone supplier of high-quality laboratory equipment, serving various sectors including the pharmaceutical and life science industries.
Six decades of pharmaceutical innovation support
For 65 years, Labotec has been an invaluable ally to pharmaceutical manufacturers and researchers across Southern Africa. The company’s journey began with Schott laboratory and technical glassware but quickly expanded to encompass a comprehensive range of scientific equipment essential for pharmaceutical development, quality control, and research.
What sets Labotec apart is its unwavering commitment to quality. This dedication to excellence has made the company a preferred partner for pharmaceutical companies requiring precision, reliability, and consistency in their laboratory operations.
Instruments for pharma labs
Laboratories in heavily regulated industries such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical diagnostics, and life science manufacturing must adhere to good laboratory practice (GLP) and GxP quality guidelines and standards.
The ELGA Veolia Purelab Pharma Compliance delivers a lab water solution focused on building the perfect relationship between discovery, production, and traceability. This results in an intuitive, efficient, and compliant purification system.
Purelab Pharma Compliance is packed with innovative features optimised for QC laboratories. It offers all the purification, software capabilities, qualification documentation, and online support services necessary for GMP.
The Orion VersaStar meters range of portable and benchtop pH, conductivity, ion selective electrode (ISE), dissolved oxygen, or multiparameter meters can be coupled with the Orion Navigator Pro software. Thermo Scientific™ Orion™ Star Com™ software makes it easy to transfer data from your meter to a computer and is compatible with Thermo Scientific™ Orion™ Star™ A and Thermo Scientific™ Orion™ Versa Star™ meters.
The Novasina Labmaster is a powerful tool to measure water activity, particularly with the release of the USP 922 Water Activity method. It can assist with stability control, microbial risk prevention, optimised formulation, reduced caking and clumping, and moisture migration control, which all have significant product improvement advantages.
For stability testing, the Pharma cabinets from Weisstechnik® were specifically developed to meet the requirements of a test laboratory in pharmaceutics. They are robustly constructed and available in four sizes: Pharma 280, Pharma 600, Pharma 1300 and Pharma 2000.
Enduring partnerships
Labotec’s success story is built on enduring relationships with both suppliers and customers. Some supplier partnerships have flourished for over 40 years, ensuring consistent access to cutting-edge technologies for the pharmaceutical sector.
As the pharmaceutical landscape continues to evolve, Labotec remains committed to providing tailored solutions that meet the industry’s stringent requirements. The company’s 65-year journey represents not only a celebration of the past, but also a foundation for continued support of pharmaceutical innovation and excellence in Southern Africa for decades to come.
