Dale's Journey
The vision for Sutter began in 1974, when Dale Flaming developed the BV-10 Microelectrode Beveler. That beveler would go on to be the first product sold by Sutter Instrument, which was incorporated in 1977 in Dale's garage.
That same year, Dale developed the P-77 micropipette puller, the first digitally controlled puller on the market. The P-77 revolutionized the field by allowing precise, repeatable control over micropipette production, providing scientists with the reliable tool they needed for critical research.
