Brookhaven Instruments
Brookhaven INSTRUMENTS Corporation designs, manufactures, and sells analytical instruments used in research, development, process and quality control. Located on Long Island, NY, and in business since 1976 oversees distributors, representatives and a sales force that combined covers the globe’s principal markets for analytical instruments.
Product designs started when their founders were postdoctoral students in the late 1960s. Today, Brookhaven Instruments uses a variety of techniques including static, dynamic, electrophoretic, phase analysis light scattering and specialized centrifuge technology to become one of the major players in the particle characterization instrumentation market.
Operations
Brookhaven Instruments is in the Materials Analysis sector. Specializing is protein, polymer and particle characterization with techniques in particle size, zeta potential, molecular weight, chromatography and laser light scattering. These systems have applications across many industries including Polymer and Protein sciences, Pharmaceuticals, the Painting and Coatings industries, Research Institutions and food production just to name a few.
