Photographs of the displays are superimposed on a hand-drawn dashboard.

Liquid scintillation counters measure the radioactivity of a sample by mixing the sample with a solvent containing a scintillator, which will emit photons in the presence of radioactive materials. The counter measures…

Multimeters are instruments capable of making multiple measurements, typically voltage, current, and resistance.

Arnold Beckman invented his first pH meter in 1934 at the request of a chemist from the California citrus industry, who needed an accurate way to measure the acidity of his product. The resulting instrument kicked off…

Beckman Instruments debuted an Immunochemistry Analyzer in 1977 and an Auto ICS (Immunochemistry System) in 1980.

Liquid scintillation counters measure the radioactivity of a sample by mixing the sample with a solvent containing a scintillator, which will emit photons in the presence of radioactive materials. The counter measures…

Unidentified scientific instrument has controls for gain, preset error, preset minimum, low sample reject (CPM), and a knob to toggle between manual, sample repeat, single cycle and cycle repeat. Bottom unit features a…

Beckman's Biogamma Radioimmuno Analyzer was introduced in 1973. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is a technique for measuring the antigen concentration. Known quantities of radioactive (labeled or “hot”) antigens and antibodies…

Control Company introduced the first metric conversion calculator in 1978.

First produced in 1980, the Beckman Auto ICS (Immunochemistry System) is a fully automated system that measures specific protein concentrations in body fluids. It can be used to monitor the presence and concentration of…

Electrophoresis uses an electric field to separate particles in a medium (like a gel) based on their size, charge, or a binding affinity.

Beckman released its first Protein-Peptide Synthesizer in 1971.

Beckman's first Acculab model IR spectrophotometer debuted in 1973.

Beckman's foray into ultraviolet spectroscopy began in 1940, when the company (then called National Technical Laboratories) produced the DU prototype. The double -beam Model 25 was introduced in the early 1970s.

The Synchron systems run a wide range of clinical chemistry tests including drug and biological fluid analyses.

This model followed in the tradition of the DU, the first ultraviolent/visible spectrum spectrophotometer.

The first Beckman Instruments DU Spectrophotometer was developed in 1940, when the company was still called…

This instrument was used in the analysis of carbon dioxide.

Beckman Instruments and Electric Heating Association produced this portable computer for use by electric heating salesmen.

Beckman Instruments, Inc. became interested in measuring, controlling, and fighting air pollution in the late 1940s and early 1950s, when company president Arnold O. Beckman became the scientific adviser to the Los…
