Pipette.com [Five Ring Partners Inc] was founded by Alex Spector and his family in 1996. What started as a small calibration service has evolved into one of the most trusted lab supply companies in the United States—a company where precision, quality, and service come together to support scientists in laboratories of all sizes.
With Alex still at the helm, Pipette.com remains proudly independent, focused on people, and driven by science. As Alex puts it:

“From the very beginning, we’ve built this company on trust, care, and a deep respect for the work scientists do every day. If we can make their lives a little easier, a little more precise—that’s success to me.”
- Alex Spector, President and Chairman

Behind the scenes, our team is made up of more than just lab experts. From our meticulous calibration technicians and knowledgeable sales consultants to our responsive customer support and creative marketing team — we’re all united by one goal: helping scientists do their best work.
Many of us have worn lab coats ourselves, so we understand what’s at stake. Whether you're calling with a question, placing an order, or just looking for the right tool for the job — you’ll find real people who care, and who take pride in every detail.

We’re a feel-good company, through and through—because supporting science feels good. And your success? That’s our biggest win.
