SLS Select Education is a division of Scientific Laboratory Supplies (SLS), the largest independent supplier of scientific laboratory apparatus, chemicals, and services in the UK. Drawing on a robust industry network, our organisation specialises in offering competitive pricing and extensive product ranges to school laboratories. Yet, our mission goes beyond typical supplier roles.
Our team, largely made up of former science technicians, deeply understands the dedication and passion required in this field, consistently demonstrating their commitment to providing genuine support to their colleagues in the science community. We couldn't be prouder of our reps and the positive impact they make in schools each academic year. Click here to meet the lovely faces behind SLS Select Education and discover your local rep!
Building a Strong Community
Being a science technician can be a solitary role, often separated from the broader teacher community. Recognising this divide, we made it our mission to foster genuine connections and support among technicians. As a sponsor of the popular Preproom forum for science technicians, our organisation reaffirms that community, science, and fun are intertwined. Whether awarding a water bath worth over £500 during British Science Week, hosting a science Christmas quiz with over 1000 participants, or running a nationwide search for the oldest water bath, we strive to bring joy to the hardworking individuals in the science community at every interaction.
Sharing Knowledge & Practical Advice
As experienced technicians retire, someone needs to step in to ensure that their invaluable knowledge is passed on, helping newcomers navigate their roles with confidence and competence. As the vast majority of our team is comprised of former technicians, it’s only natural that these individuals would create a valuable resource hub for technicians at every stage of their careers. From setting up school science clubs and practical experiments, to guiding equipment purchases and maintenance practices, our website extends far from its ecommerce functionality.
