Isn't Anova a lab equipment maker too? I thought I remembered hearing that when they introduced their first models way back when.
Kinda sorta. Anova was originally a lab equipment company. After they developed their first culinary circulator, they spun off the division as Anova Culinary. This was later bought by Electrolux (but seems to remain independently run). For a minute there may have been some kind of relationship between Anova and Anova Culinary (the original Anova Pro culinary circulator was identical to the lab model).
But now I can't find any evidence of the original company existing anymore. They're still listed on some lab suppliers' sites, but generally as unavailable.
The wikipedia article on the company makes no reference to the original lab equipment company, which seems odd.
