About Caribbean Scientific

Founded in 1984, Caribbean Scientific is a family-owned company dedicated to the distribution of laboratory and process equipment, instrumentation, and supplies for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and educational sectors. With over three decades of industry expertise, we have built a strong reputation for excellence in both product distribution and technical service.

Originally launched as Filtration Instrumentation Specialist, Inc. (FIS), our journey began with a single sales division focused on laboratory solutions. In 1993, we expanded our capabilities by establishing VCI, Inc., a sister company focused exclusively on equipment service. Recognizing the value of integrated support, the two entities merged in 2002 to form FIS-VCI, Inc., unifying our distribution and service divisions under one name.

Today, Caribbean Scientific is recognized for delivering a superior service experience. Our dedicated team of sales professionals and technical experts work closely with clients to understand their unique needs and provide tailored solutions across a broad portfolio of laboratory products and services.

Our Service Division is staffed by certified technicians trained to calibrate, validate, repair, and maintain a wide range of laboratory equipment, with a strong emphasis on refrigeration systems and particle counters—two of the most critical areas for pharmaceutical and cleanroom operations.

We are proud to serve clients throughout Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Islands, offering prompt, reliable, and high-quality service and distribution. Our mission is to support your success with solutions that enhance the performance, compliance, and reliability of your operations.

Whether it’s lab equipment, process instrumentation, or specialized service support, we’re here to make sure everything works the way it should — so you can focus on what really matters.

We keep up with the latest innovations to bring our clients smart, reliable solutions. But more than that, we take pride in being responsive, honest, and easy to work with. Our team uses modern tools and hands-on experience to deliver quality service — and we do it with a genuine commitment to the people and communities we serve.

At Caribbean Scientific, our vision is simple — we want to be the team you trust. Whether you’re running a lab, teaching the next generation of scientists, or leading research in the field, we’re here to make sure you have the tools, equipment, and support you need to do your best work.

We take pride in giving every project our full attention, no matter the size. We may be a small business, but we treat our clients like family — with care, respect, and a genuine commitment to getting things done right. Our goal is to make a difference by offering dependable solutions and building lasting relationships along the way.
