Isotech has always tried to anticipate and accommodate customers' needs in measurement. These needs are often identical to our own, since we are not only manufacturers of instruments, but also a full scale and accredited calibration laboratory at all levels. We use what we make; we design from our own needs.
Next Generation Products. We have recognized that in recent years many needs for temperature calibration have changed dramatically. Our products have evolved to meet these new needs because the number of calibration laboratories has become much larger, as more stringent quality control has replaced the craftsmans eye, and requirements such as those of ISO 9000, the EN series of standards etc., demand objective validation and proof.
Innovation Isotech is renowned for innovation, with award winning products like the ISOTower ITS-90 Fixed Points, microK Thermometry Bridges, the milliK Precision Thermometer and ISOCAL-6; the multi function calibrator providing Dry Block, Liquid Bath, Surface Sensors, Blackbody and Fixed Point calibration in one piece of apparatus.
Global Network - local support. Isotech has over 90 authorized sales agents worldwide! No matter where you are we can offer local support.
Complete Solutions. Isotech has solutions for all calibration needs, from Primary Laboratories maintaining National Standards to the needs of field engineers calibrating industrial sensors on site. Isotech is truly The Source for Calibration Professionals.
New Users. With the increase in the number of laboratories, we see a shift in laboratory personnel, from a few skilled scientists to technicians and manufacturing engineers who may have no previous experience in temperature calibration and the arcane field of measurement uncertainty.
Benefit. From Isotech's premier UKAS Calibration Laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025:2005) Many manufacturers of temperature calibration equipment do not operate accredited laboratories. At Isotech we remain unique in that in addition to manufacturing equipment we also operate a full scale UKAS accredited laboratory calibrating both our own equipment and a full range of temperature equipment for our clients, from industrial thermocouples to primary standards.
Izon Science designs and manufactures precision instrumentation for nano- and micro-scale particle analysis. The instruments are now in use in a wide range of research institutes and universities around the world.
The basis of Izon's instrumentation is a unique, dynamically tunable nanopore technology platform which utilises a technology called Tunable Resistive Pulse Sensing (TRPS). This technology platform is world-leading in offering an affordable, robust and highly flexible technology for real-time detection, quantitation and characterisation of individual particles at the nanoscale, across a wide range of applications.
TRPS offers a unique alternative to the existing laser-based technologies available on the market. It offers applications not previously available to researchers and at a fraction of the cost of the incumbent technologies.
Tunable Resistive Pulse Sensing (TRPS) technology enables measurements of nanoparticles suspended in electrolytes, as opposed to the estimates provided by light scattering techniques. A scientific measurement must be quantifiable and reproducible, delivering as a minimum:
1. The concentration of particles in the fluid as a number of particles per unit volume of fluid, across a specified detectable particle size range.
2. An accurate size distribution of these particles ideally plotted as a histogram of concentration vs particle diameter (or volume).
TRPS is the only technology that delivers these fundamental requirements, and in addition can measure the surface charge of individual nanoparticles.
