About Singer Instruments
Singer Instruments builds laboratory automation workstations for microbiologists, accelerating biological research through high-throughput colony picking and screening to custom automation for specialist workflows. Our systems are used by thousands of research institutions across 60+ countries, including MIT, Stanford, NASA, Google, and Ginkgo Bioworks, supporting work across genetics, synthetic biology, antimicrobial resistance, and cancer biology. Founded in 1934 and headquartered in Somerset, England, we design and manufacture everything in-house. This gives us complete control over quality, reliability, and performance, with no outsourcing and no shortcuts. We are employee-owned, so the people building our systems have a direct stake in every instrument we ship. That shows up in the detail. If you are looking to scale microbiology workflows, develop custom lab automation, or implement high-throughput screening, we would love to hear from you. We are driven by a simple belief: biology holds the key to a healthier, cleaner, greener planet. Our role is to build the tools that help scientists get there faster.
