About Us
SKC is the world leader in sampling technologies. SKC was founded by chemist Lloyd V. Guild in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1962. The privately held corporation specialized in producing precision laboratory glassware. As other scientists joined Dr. Guild and his interest in protecting workers from occupational exposure grew, he expanded SKC’s capabilities to produce the first commercially available sorbent tube and one of the first low flow pumps.
SKC is proud of its products and the role they play in protecting workers and the environment.
