Our philosophy

Scientific research requires new approaches and often instruments to match. When commercial instruments are not available or not appropriate new designs are required. At IBS, we understand that your instrument ideas and challenges lie at the cutting edge. Sometimes those ideas demand extreme precision.

As advanced engineers, we believe that precision cannot be guaranteed without a solid understanding of measurement. At IBS we are experts in both measurement and precision. We work with the scientific community to deliver instruments where this is critical.

The process of instrument development is iterative and requires close collaboration. A structured approach, gained from our industrial background, ensures creativity can flourish while deadlines and performance are met. Know how gained over 25 years of manufacturing precision equipment allows us to solve the toughest of challenges.
