History

[edit]

Lancaster Laboratories was founded by Dr. Earl H. Hess in 1961 as a 2,500-square-foot (230 m2) lab with three employees, including the first lab tech, John Snyder. Earl Hess opened the company intending to provide analytical services to area agribusinesses and industries.[2]

The company claims several distinctions:

  • They were the first laboratory accredited by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation
  • They prepared the first qualifications manual in the lab industry and implemented a total quality management system in 1989
  • They pioneered computerized Laboratory Information Management Systems in the 1970s and designed a model automated system for retrieval and storage of samples — the only laboratory to have such a system

Dr. Hess retired in 1995, selling Lancaster Laboratories to Thermo TerraTech. The company was again sold in 2000 to Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison and yet again in August 2005 to Fisher Scientific.[3] Fisher Scientific was acquired by Thermo Electron in 2007 to form Thermo Fisher Scientific.[4] Eurofins Scientific acquired the company in 2011.[5]

Dr. J. Wilson Hershey serves as chairman of the board. Tim S. Oostdyk serves as president.[6]
