About us

Intro

In 2015 the cannabis industry was turned upside down upon the release of the short path distillation process to purify a crude cannabis extract into a very high potency golden oil often referred to as "distillate".  At the time the industry most often used trim or leaf (which was shockingly almost given away) as the extraction material so our name "Goldleaf" was selected to subtly suggest the short path distillation process which was the foundation of the company.

Before we launched Goldleaf Scientific there were sellers which kept the short path distillation process, steps, SOP's, etc. secret. Even worse were sellers which were borderline scamming buyers by charging 10-30x markup on a poor quality short path kits that didn't even work.

We Start Selling Short Path Kits

Our founder was experienced in the short path distillation process and knew what equipment was needed. He also knew that bundling or making a kit would be a huge convenience to buyers so the company was launched around the sales of short path distillation kits. We wanted to offer a fair price and give away all the info that the industry was desperate for, so that's what we did. 

We Began Building the Product and Brand Quality 

As the industry matured around 2017 we expanded to other equipment  such as Glass Reactors, and Rotary Evaporators, which would support other extraction or purification processes. By then China had flooded the market with cheap equipment and other sellers took advantage and built their supply chain around it. We were familiar with the issues with buying cheap China short path kits so we went the opposite approach as many other sellers and pivoted the company. We started focusing on producing the newest and most exciting designs and the highest quality equipment possible. To do this we needed to rapid prototype and optimize new designs so started our in house glassblowing operation. 

We Diversified

As the price for distillate began to really crash around 2019 we knew that the market demand for short path kits would fall as well. Ultimately we found that this niche was too small and unpredictable so began to develop and market scientific and laboratory equipment for cannabis, and the greater scientific industries. We used our product experience and manufacturing expertise to expand our product offerings into homogenizers, hotplate stirrers, overhead stirrers, and we continue to add more many more products each day. We are committed to offering the highest quality products and backing that with excellent customer service and industry insight.

Today we are know in laboratories throughout the world for providing superior service, reliability and high-quality products and are recognized worldwide as a leading manufacturer of scientific equipment. We offer repairs and often work with customers to devise optimal laboratory set-ups. With our manufacturing expertise, Goldleaf Scientific has the ability to create unique pieces that, together with our industry knowledge allows us to create the most advanced designs tailored to your specific application.
