Who is Boreal Laboratories? / Our History...


Boreal Laboratories is the leading supplier of science materials and equipment to Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science and Physics teachers throughout Canada. Our High School/Middle School Catalogue is over 1,120 pages and contains more than 18,000 products for teaching including our own line of Boreal Microscopes, state-of-the-art Boreal Digital Microscopes, and over 400 exclusive "Teacher Developed, Classroom Tested" products (science teaching products developed by real science teachers and tested in their own classrooms). Our Catalogue for 2001 featured over 1,200 new products including over 300 new multimedia. Our comprehensive Biology section follows Pan-Canadian guidelines and leading textbooks. Our Chemistry section is organized according to teaching topics and all chemicals are listed by IUPAC name and include shelf life.

We offer a life-time warranty on all Boreal Microscopes (including digital models!), an unconditional guarantee on all products, a 30-Day Free Trial policy for most items, fast shipping with nearly 95% of all orders shipped complete within 7-10 days, a sales service team with a combined total of more than 100 years of science teaching experience, high-quality live and preserved specimens, and the best customer service in the business - if it isn't right, we make it right.

Our Elementary Catalogue (available only on this web site!) contains hundreds of teaching tools carefully selected to fit the needs of the elementary teacher and the elementary classroom. This catalogue is not just a catalogue of products, we have worked hard to make it a practical resource filled with fun facts, teaching tips and student-friendly activities teachers can use in their classrooms. However, Boreal Laboratories is not just about catalogues...

Our Publishing/Kit Build group works with Elementary Textbook Publishers like Scholastic (Canada). They work with the publisher as a new science program is being developed. Activities included in the science program are reviewed and tested, material lists are created, and customized "science kits" are produced to accompany the science program.

In 2000, our Kit Division produced over 100,000 kits in 800 different configurations for schools across North America.
