We began in 1977 as Computer Control Corporation, custom-designing OEM automated control systems that included temperature, motor, and flow control elements. We soon progressed to constant flow sampling equipment, providing industrial hygienists and environmental scientists with portable, flexible sampling systems. One such system, the Sentry II sequential tube sampler, is now in its seventh generation.
In 1991, we formed Bios International to better establish a name within these markets. That year we launched our first primary gas flow calibrator, the DryCal DC-1. This ±1% instrument quickly became the industry standard for dry, low-cost flow calibration, prompting the addition two years later of its companion product, the DC-2, which offered users the option of standardized readings.
Already a leading manufacturer of precision flow measurement systems, in 1995 we opted to expand our air sampling line with the powerful Surveyor, ideal for rapid, short-term task sampling or long-duration ambient air assessment. Always looking for new opportunities, in 1998 we took advantage of existing technology to create the next generation of DryCal, the DC-Lite. Operating on the same principle of the original calibrators, the Lite was repackaged into a compact, lighter model, providing better accuracy and increased reproducibility at a lower cost.
