IS-Instruments

IS-Instruments Ltd is a UK-based R&D company specializing in the design, development, and manufacturing of compact, remote sensing instrumentation. With expertise in Raman, LIDAR, spectroscopy, and 3D sensing, the company caters to clients operating in hostile and high-temperature environments. Their client portfolio includes reputable organizations such as National Grid, Xstrata, the European Space Agency, and ABSL Space Products.

Established in 2010 by Directors Dr. Michael Foster and Dr. Jonathan Sto, IS-Instruments Ltd has been at the forefront of developing advanced technologies for remote sensing applications. Their primary focus lies in addressing the challenges associated with molecular and chemical composition analysis of biological samples. By leveraging their deep UV Raman spectrometer, named ODIN, operating at 228.5 nm, the company has overcome the limitations of traditional spectroscopic investigation techniques. ODIN enables the measurement of biological samples without compromising their fragility and interference from auto fluorescence.

IS-Instruments Ltd has also expanded its capabilities to characterizing equine synovial fluids using deep UV Raman spectroscopy. By harnessing the power of compact, spectrographic, and remote sensing technologies, the company is actively applying space-developed technologies to solve real-world challenges on Earth.

With a growing team of dedicated professionals, including Alex Poppe, a skilled researcher in applied machine learning methods, IS-Instruments Ltd continues to push the boundaries of spectroscopy and advance industrial catalysts for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
