| FOSS
(Denmark) was founded in 1956 to automate otherwise time-consuming analytical
methods - a principle that still holds true today. The first instruments were
developed to test moisture in grain, followed by analytical solutions for the
dairy industry - a major business area for FOSS alongside a growing range of other
application areas, including the analysis of meat, edible oils and wine. In 1997,
FOSS TecatorAB adding substantial strength in reference analysis methods and in
grain, flour, feed, beer and pharmaceutical segments. The merger positioned FOSS
as a leader in analytical solutions within the food, agriculture, pharmaceutical
and chemical industries. Today FOSS develops and supplies rapid, accurate and
safe automated wet chemistry solutions for the analysis of food and agricultural
products. They offer a complete range of instruments for approved reference methods
(Kjeltec™, Soxtec™, Fibertec™, FIAStar™). |
| INUS
(USA), manufacturer of Radioactivity HPLC detectors, including the -RAM
for beta emitting and the y-Ram for gamma emitting HPLC eluates. IN/US also makes
the GC-RAM 3 for detection of 14C and 3H in gas chromatography, and a full range

| Opsis
AB (Sweden) was founded in 1985 when two Ph.D. students from the University of
Lund, Sweden, took the concept of measuring gases with light and developed it
into a commercially viable product. Svante Wallin and Leif Unéus developed
the idea of measuring gases in air, by using light, to measure several gases simultaneously.specialises
in the development and manufacture of advanced, innovative systems for environmental
gas analysis and process control. Using spectroscopic methods, long path and fence-line
systems are used to measure ambient air quality in urban and industrial areas.
Similar systems are used in stacks for continuous emission monitoring of a wide
range of pollutants. The Opsis open path monitoring method is recognised and approved
by authorities worldwide. Systems are available for ambient air quality monitoring
(AQM) and continuous emissions monitoring (CEM)/process control. |
