About STX
How STX came to be
Since its founding by Terry Looney in 1995, STX has evolved into a diverse supplier of a wide range of products and services. STX provides Intelligent Solutions™ to a broad array of clients.
Services include Intelligent Lab Design and Professional Project Management. Our product lines offer solutions for modern laboratories across a wide range of disciplines and applications.
Our business is quite simple. We aim to treat our clients well and adhere to the roadmap of executing each job effectively.
Find a need and fill it... we found two!
STX’s business has been developed around two market needs we identified as being critical.
First, we discovered a gap in the market for a strong mid-Atlantic partner in the distribution of analytical instrumentation. We recognized that our extensive industry knowledge, relationships, and local presence enabled us to meet that demand.
Second, with over 30 years in the lab industry, we noticed that far too many labs were built without sufficient consideration given to their applications. There seemed to be a default one-size-fits-all approach and too little attention to detail. For that, we knew there was a better way... and we set out to find a solution. We believe that our model of application-driven “Intelligent Lab Design” is the answer.
Then we found three, including our mobile lab division, “TechVan. " We have applied the same standards mentioned above to labs that can be utilized precisely where they are needed.
From Our Customers
“In exploring how to move forward with creating a high quality science lab in a newly constructed space, the spouse of our science teacher had recommended STX. The end result - a quality lab designed to meet our needs at an affordable price, with great customer service and follow up.”

Enhance your value to your clients by providing better options.
Today, STX offers not only custom labs but also custom products. We have integrated the idea of asking how a product can be enhanced into our manufacturing process through our concept of “Intelligent Product Design. " This strategy enables us to create tailored solutions for a wide range of needs.
