Advanced Instruments helped establish the method with nephrologists, making it a staple of laboratory medicine. Other early products were flame photometers, a pioneering neonatal Bilirubin analyzer, sweat testing for cystic fibrosis diagnosis, and oxygenators for cardiac bypass surgery.
AI Family of companies
Advanced Instruments is a world leading manufacturer of products serving a variety of laboratory disciplines. With versatile manufacturing and distribution capabilities, the Advanced Instruments Companies are well poised to meet new challenges, and find opportunities to better serve these industries.
Spiral Biotech developed the novel concept of microbiological sample deposition in a spiral form, giving a 3 log dilution from the center of the plate to the outer rim. The idea has been widely adopted, but no other manufacturer has equaled the robust and reliable performance of the original Spiral Plater. The Spiral product line has grown to include apparatus for sample collection and preparation as well as automatic colony counters.
Mart Microbiology pioneered the concept of creating modified environments for small batches of anaerobic and microaerophilic cultures. This precise environmental control results in vastly improved recoveries, while reducing operating costs compared to traditional anaerobic chambers. Anoxomat can tailor a system for any type or size of laboratory.
Delta Instruments provides automated, Mid-IR equipment for dairy component analysis, and flow-cytometry equipment for somatic cell counting.
