It was not until after the war that MSE expanded their offering to incorporate the development of centrifuges and other specialised laboratory equipment. The company soon earned a reputation for delivering efficient and safe equipment that was tailored to the specific needs of scientists using them, and we became known the world over for top-quality design and manufacture of advanced products.
With the founding of the National Health Service in 1948, MSE was engaged to develop hospital Microtomes, which until then had never been manufactured in the UK. The newly formed Atomic Energy Authority approached MSE requesting them to manufacture a range of centrifuges for use in their research. Following the change of focus from machine tool development to centrifuges, the acronym MSE was changed to Measuring and Scientific Equipment.
