Stearns Scientific is a distributor of scientific equipment and supplies with a core focus on medical grade refrigeration. Our product lines serve a wide range of markets from blood banks and fertility clinics to academic research, biotech and more. In addition to scientific refrigeration and cryopreservation (+4c to -196c), we carry a full line of standard and custom inventory systems (freezer racks), temperature monitoring systems, sample boxes, a comprehensive plastics line, and DNA electrophoresis systems. Our mission is to provide advanced knowledge on the storage of biologics, a product line that can serve all research settings, superior customer service, all while maintaining a competitive price point. Challenge the status quo, think about the longevity of your lab, and be open to working with a business that answers to researchers first, rather than the institutional money managers.

The Stearns family was part of the 2nd wave of the Puritan migration in 1630 to Massachusetts. As direct descendants to those who settled the Massachusetts Bay Colony, our roots to the country and community are deep. The Stearns family has a history of innovation, forward thinking, and service to our great country. Our values to service continue with our dedication in the life sciences community in Massachusetts and beyond.
