Miles Scientific (also known as iChromatography, previously known as Analtech) is a manufacturing firm based in Newark, Delaware. It produces thin-layer chromatography plates and accessories.[1]
The firm was started as Custom Service Chemicals in 1961 by four men. Custom Service Chemicals changed its name to Analtech, a shortening of analytical technologies, on January 1, 1965. Its facility, located in Wilmington industrial park, was destroyed in a fire on May 29, 1965. The company relocated and was able to open its new facility in two weeks.[2] In 1970, the firm moved out of its leased space and into a new facility in Blue Hen Industrial Park.[3]
In 2008, the firm had 20 employees.[1]
In August 2015, the firm was purchased by its general manager, Steven Miles, from the estates of two of its founders.[4] At this time, it had 13 employees.[1] The company subsequently rebranded as Miles Scientific.[5]
