Since 1919, LaMotte has been a committed leader in providing quality equipment and guidance for water analysis
In 1919 a young chemist, Frank LaMotte, decided to focus his expertise in the area of pH analysis on specific applications of chemical control. Within a few years, LaMotte's small laboratory in Baltimore, Maryland was manufacturing specialized pH indicators and other analytical reagents for world-wide distribution.
The applications section of LaMotte's first major catalog, published in 1930, anticipated many of the areas in which accurate chemical control is indispensable today - boiler water, swimming pools, drinking water, and more.

I utilize the USPS for shipping all packages and have found them to be the most economical and reliable

USPS has discontinued Regional Rate Box prices. This means that this mail class is no longer available
USPS uses Cubic Pricing rates which are determined by package dimensions and distance traveled instead of weight
