Our story and mission
Founded in 2020, HuckansLabs is an outgrowth of the experimental AMO (atomic, molecular and optical) physics laboratory at the Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania.
What began as an effort to develop our own affordable laboratory equipment has become an endeavor to make this equipment available to all laboratories looking for alternative experimental instruments.
We believe everyone should have the means to pursue their research, without spending all of their funds just getting started.
Why the turtle?
Inspired by the mascot of our founder’s alma mater, we realized the turtle held even more significance for us:
While ideas and discoveries can occur in an instant, oftentimes progress toward scientific truth merely inches along—
just like a turtle.
But here at HuckansLabs, we firmly believe that slow and steady wins the race.
