Radiometer Analytical S.A. originates from the RADIOMETER company founded in 1935 in Copenhagen, Denmark. One of the first vocations of RADIOMETER was to manufacture instruments for measuring chemical quantities. The first instrument of this kind was the pH meter, which was successfully introduced in October 1937, some 60 years ago.

Since then, business has expanded to include a whole range of electrochemical measuring instruments for analytical chemistry. The instruments are used for a wide variety of applications in both research and routine testing. The customers are manufacturing companies and public as well as private laboratories, schools, colleges and universities.

In 1986 the business was supplemented through the acquisition of the French company SOLEA which was founded by Mr. Jacques Tacussel in May 1946. The products manufactured and sold under the TACUSSEL trademark have earned a solid reputation for quality in France and the surrounding countries.

In April 1993 all analytical activities were consolidated in France as one company, Radiometer Analytical S.A.

Radiometer Analytical S.A. is now part of the Danaher Corporation.
