A Legacy of Excellence: The History of SCION Instruments

The Techcomp Group established SCION Instruments in 2014 after acquiring Bruker’s Gas Chromatography (GC) business, originally developed by Varian.

Previously, Bruker had acquired Varian’s GC range from Agilent, which divested it in 2010 due to regulatory requirements. As a result of this acquisition, SCION Instruments inherited Varian’s gas chromatography technology and designs, allowing us to continue and expand this rich legacy.

Since then, SCION Instruments has significantly expanded the GC range, enhancing its capabilities and providing ongoing support for legacy Varian devices and customers.
