In Costa Rica's vibrant and fast-growing laboratory market, Tecnología Aplicada Internacional S.A. (TAISA) has distinguished itself as a vital partner and distributor for Organomation, delivering high-quality sample preparation solutions to laboratories across the country. Founded in 2003, TAISA’s evolution from a small family business to a nationally recognized scientific equipment provider exemplifies its dedication to quality, service, and innovation.
TAISA was established by Alexis Ulloa, a laboratory equipment technician, and Olga Murillo, a chemist, who together identified the urgent need for a reliable supplier of high-end laboratory equipment that also offered specialized technical support. Starting as a modest family enterprise in San Vicente de Moravia, the company focused on delivering not only products but comprehensive technical accompaniment to its clients.
Over more than 20 years, TAISA has grown into a strong small- and medium-sized enterprise, widely respected in Costa Rica’s scientific and technical sectors. Their client base spans universities, research laboratories, government institutions, and private industries, making them a cornerstone of the national laboratory infrastructure.
Today, TAISA is guided by the second generation of the founding family, which continues to drive growth through enhanced marketing strategies and a focus on customer acquisition, all while reinforcing the company’s original mission of delivering reliable, advanced laboratory solutions with expert support.
Costa Rica has emerged as Latin America’s leading life sciences hub. Since joining forces with Organomation, TAISA has become a key conduit to installing and servicing Organomation nitrogen blowdown evaporators and sample prep systems in the region. Organomation is renowned for its high-capacity nitrogen evaporators widely used to concentrate samples in analytical laboratories, delivering precision and reliability essential for pharmaceutical analysis, environmental testing, and research applications.
TAISA's product offering includes the full range of Organomation instruments—from the compact 6 sample N-EVAP to compact nitrogen generators —alongside their comprehensive technical support and local expertise. Their role extends beyond sales to include ongoing training, maintenance, and workflow optimization, ensuring laboratories achieve the best performance from their equipment.
Additionally, TAISA represents other premier scientific brands, bringing an integrated portfolio of laboratory technologies tailored to the Costa Rican market.
A key differentiator for TAISA is its ability to combine equipment provision with deep technical knowledge. Their team ensures seamless integration of Organomation technologies into laboratory workflows and offers method development guidance and maintenance support. This technical partnership is critical in applications like PFAS analysis requiring PTFE-free evaporator models, or solid-phase extraction workflows essential to modern sample preparation.
With Costa Rica's continued rise as a scientific innovation hub, characterized by expanded R&D investments and evolving laboratory automation, TAISA is positioned to capitalize on these trends alongside Organomation. Their dedicated leadership and commitment to technical excellence provide a solid foundation to meet the increasing demands of the Costa Rican and broader Central American scientific communities.
Together, TAISA and Organomation exemplify the power of international collaboration in advancing analytical science. By delivering precision nitrogen evaporation technologies supported by local expertise, they empower laboratories to enhance productivity, safeguard sample integrity, and accelerate scientific discovery across the region.
