OLIS, Inc. – originally On-Line Instrument Systems, Inc. – was founded in 1974 by three young biochemists with expertise in optics, electronics, and the young field of computer programming. Today, this privately-held American company continues to serve the biophysical, biochemical, and bioenergetics fields with absorbance, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopy for sophisticated research and routine measurements.
For decades, our quiet and agile corporation has developed and delivered absorbance, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectrophotometers for kinetic and steady-state studies worldwide. Our newest product line – the CLARiTY series – has eliminated the previously insurmountable barrier to accurate absorbance spectroscopy of turbid samples.
“First, let me emphasize that we have been extremely happy with the quality and speed of the service and the advice that we have been given by Olis over the years, and we are absolutely confident that we shall continue to feel the same way in the future.”
