DESCRIPTION

Reflect Scientific is a small life sciences equipment and supplies company based in Orem, Utah, operating two distinct product lines. The first is Cryometrix, a line of ultra-low temperature and blast freezers powered by liquid nitrogen, sold to hospitals, biotech and pharma companies, blood banks, universities, and government research facilities for storing vaccines, DNA, RNA, proteins, and other biological materials. Reflect Scientific also applies this cooling technology to refrigerated transport trailers and solvent chillers used in natural product extraction. The second product line is OEM chromatography supplies — vials, sealing components, UV detectors, and related lab consumables — sold to OEM customers and end users in the chromatography and chemical analysis markets. Reflect Scientific sells directly to customers and outsources most manufacturing, focusing internally on product design and final assembly. With only 7 full-time employees and minimal R&D spending, the cost structure is lean and largely variable. The Cryometrix freezers are capital equipment purchases, making revenue lumpy and dependent on winning individual sales, while the chromatography supplies business provides a more stable but low-growth recurring revenue base. Reflect Scientific holds 32 utility patents concentrated in the Cryometrix refrigeration line, and argues its liquid nitrogen-based cooling offers faster cooling, more uniform temperatures, power-outage resilience, and lower maintenance costs compared to conventional compressor-based freezers made by larger incumbents.
