Beckman Coulter was established in 1997 through the merger of Beckman and Coulter, two of the world's leading analytical instrument companies. It has now become the world's largest particle analysis instrument company. Mr. Coulter, the founder of Kurt Company, invented the Coulter principle in 1947, which utilizes an electric induction zone to detect particle size and number. In 1953, the world's * particle size analyzer was manufactured using the Coulter principle, becoming a classic method for particle counting. In 1958, Kurt&Co. was founded with its headquarters located in Miami, USA, becoming a pioneer in particle characteristic analysis.
Beckman Coulter, the owner of particle characteristic analysis instruments, has been dedicated to the research and development of particle characteristic characterization. Since Mr. Coulter invented the groundbreaking Coulter Principle for particle analysis in 1947, over 7000 reference books have been published on this principle. Numerous application fields and organizations use it as a standard for testing particle/cell size and counting. The American ASTM has designated the Coulter principle (electric induction zone method) as the reference method for nine categories of application testing standards. NASA also uses Beckman Coulter's Coulter Counter as an instrument for analyzing lunar soil. Beckman Coulter's R&D experts, with their rigorous and professional attitude, have developed a series of * * technologies and continuously dedicated remarkable products to users: the new generation Z high-resolution particle counting and size analyzer MS3, multi wavelength PIDS * laser diffraction particle size analyzer LS series, dynamic light scattering nanoparticle size analyzer N series for multi angle analysis, and specific surface area analyzer. The successful launch of the "Courage" and "Opportunity" Mars rovers of NASA's Mars Landing Exploration Program is attributed to the accurate and precise operation of the rocket boosters. Because if there are fuel particles with uneven particle size distribution, the thruster working in an anaerobic state will pose a danger! Therefore, Alliant, responsible for producing rocket boosters, used Beckman Coulter's LS Series laser particle analyzer as a means of strict quality control of fuel composition to ensure the particle size accuracy of the thruster fuel components (aluminum powder and perchloric acid).
Beckman Coulter, which has been in the Chinese market for more than 20 years, has entered the ranks of the Fortune 500 companies in the United States with its large scale, excellent performance, and good reputation. In 2002, Beckman Coulter's revenue reached 2.8 billion US dollars, and all of Beckman Coulter's products obtained ISO 9001 quality system certification.
Undoubtedly, Beckman Coulter will continue to play a leading role in the field of particle characteristic professional testing with its advanced technology and complete product line. Continue to make more outstanding contributions to the development of scientific research!
