New Ownership At Analtech/iChromatography

NEWARK, DE - Analtech/iChromatography, the only U.S. based manufacturer of Thin Layer Chromatography Plates, is under new ownership.

Steven C. Miles, General Manager for the company, purchased the business from the estates of the company founders.

Analtech/iChromatography was founded in 1961 by Matt Lamkin and joined by co-owner Kenneth Rainin in 1970. The company produces a variety of chromatography products used in research, forensic, and pharmaceutical labs in more than 70 countries.

Steven Miles joined the company out of the University of Delaware in 1987 and has been serving as General Manager since 2006.

"Matt Lamkin and Kenneth Rainin built a great company," said Miles. "I look forward to continuing their legacy."

In recent years, the company has expanded its product line to include semi-automated sample application devices, HPLC columns, and SPE columns.

Under Miles's leadership, the company has worked towards more efficient manufacturing practices and expanding its presence in the global marketplace.

"We have benefitted greatly from working with organizations like the Delaware Manufacturing Extension Partnership, World Trade Center Delaware, the Delaware Bioscience Association, the Delaware Office of International Trade , the U.S. Commercial Service, the Technology Forum of Delaware, and the New Castle County Chamber of Commerce."

Miles said he plans to keep expanding the product lines offered.

"Our customers should see some new product offerings in the coming months," Miles said. "In addition to high quality chromatography supplies, we plan to offer more equipment, tools, and consumables for chemists, researchers, and lab techs to use in their work."

Miles said he's excited about the possibilities moving forward.

"We have a great team, awesome distributors, and some of the smartest customers in the world," said Miles. "I look forward to working with all groups to provide more quality products to labs around the world while growing our company."
