Industrial know-how since 1949

Founded in Barcelona in 1949, J.P. Selecta grew around a simple idea: to provide laboratories with robust, reproducible instruments that are easy to service. Over the decades, the company has broadened its portfolio in thermal processing and shaking/stirring, standardised its control platforms, and invested in in-house production lines in Spain to keep a tight grip on quality and lead times. Backed by an international distribution network, it now equips thousands of laboratories across Europe and worldwide. Its growth has been built on down-to-earth principles: continuous improvement, user safety, spare-part availability, and a keen ear for what happens at the bench. This culture of purposeful engineering makes JP Selecta a dependable partner for the demanding environments of quality control and research.

Expertise and areas of specialisation

At Dutscher, JP Selecta is best known for durable temperature control and shaking solutions built to last. On the thermal side, its drying ovens and incubators deliver controlled temperature uniformity, clear digital controllers and multiple safety features — ideal for glassware drying, non-CO? incubation or sample stabilisation. The thermostatic water baths cover media preparation, dissolution and stability testing at controlled temperature, with easy-to-clean stainless-steel tanks and options for lids, shaking bridges or racks. For preparation, the brand offers orbital and linear shakers, vortex mixers and plates hotplate stirrers combining power, uniformity and surfaces resistant to common laboratory chemicals. Dry block heaters complete the line-up for incubating tubes and microtubes when compactness and speed come first. Selecta’s approach favours simplicity of use (clear interfaces, essential programme memories), repeatability (proven sensors and control loops) and maintainability (easy access to parts, responsive after-sales support). Result: reliable instruments, perfectly matched to the demands of food & beverage, environmental and education laboratories, where series of tests need to run back-to-back without surprises and without compromising safety.
