Manufacturing

 

SGE manufactures a complete range of GC and HPLC chromatography products. We have over 315 people in our modern manufacturing facilities located in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. SGE operates an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, which gives us the ability to optimize efficiencies, lead times, cost and quality.

SGE manufactures all SGE-labelled products as well as a wide range of OEM chromatography accessories and consumables for well-known chromatography companies. Although we sell SGE products through an extensive worldwide network of offices and distributors, our core strength is our ability to manufacture. The facilities include:

 

  • Precision engineering expertise using a comprehensive range of machining facilities including computer-controlled lathes, mills and grinders
  • Advanced physics and coating technology
  • Materials science capabilities
  • Fused silica production facility
  • Capillary column production facility
  • Glass forming expertise
  • Production facilities for GC inlet liners, septa, and ferrules
  • Instrument assembly facilities for example, the ms-NoVent
  • Manufacture of precision bore glass for syringes
  • Ability to manufacture most GC consumables and accessories

 

Because we consider one of core competencies is our manufacturing capability, we don't buy individual components and assemble but make most components from the ground up. For example, there are many components which make up a 10.0 µL syringe including the needle, plunger, precision bore glass barrel and various other metal components. All these individual components are manufactured and then assembled in-house. This allows us to totally control all quality aspects.

In the area of capillary columns, we not only make the fused silica tubing but also have a team of polymer chemists who develop and make the phases. The two units then come together and the capillary column is manufactured. The skills required in precision manufacturing compliments our research and development efforts and allows SGE to remain as a leading producer of innovative chromatography products.
