美国 Industrial Scientific  ,英思科,  
美国Industrial Scientific公司（中文名称：美国英思科公司）是设计、制造和销售便携式和固定式有毒有害气体检测仪的国际化专业公司。

英思科公司的产品涵盖了有毒有害气体检测的各个方面，包括了便携 / 固定式仪器，单一 / 复合气体、有机 / 无机气体检测；仪器管理服务平台等等各个方面的系列产品。

英思科公司的历史可以追溯到美国国家矿业服务公司的研发部(Research Division of National Mine Service Company(NMS)),气体的检测仪。1985年1月，这个开发部改制成英思科公司。

随着不断地增加在研发和设计上的投入，英思科公司的产品系列迅速扩大，拥有众多专利。Industrial Scientific已经成为全球坚固可靠的气体检测仪器的代名词。

1993 年 6 月，英思科公司在美国纳斯达克（NASDAQ）以ISCX名义上市，并在 1994 年成为美国工业制造业第一批通过 ISO1 认证的企业。这一认证表明英思科公司正致力于使自己的产品成为具有最高品质的生命保护仪器。


Industrial Scientific公司的今天

英思科引领着创新和服务并重的工业理念。英思科的信念就是向全球用户提供超值的有关危险环境检测的传感技术、软件、电子和机械的解决方案。今天，英思科一直致力以 100% 的承诺向用户提供更加结实、可靠、操作简便的检测仪器。英思科坚定地认为要为了正确的理由选择正确的做法，因此，1999年5月，英思科收回在 NASDAQ 上的股权，其目的就是集中精力加强长期的技术开发、以便更好的服务。

英思科的宗旨就是向客户提供最可靠的产品和最好的服务。迄今，英思科在全球各地的分支机构及其产品在市场上的领先地位同样也证明她更好实现其宗旨的能力。 

Headquartered in an advanced ISO 9001:2000-certified facility near the Pittsburgh International Airport, Industrial Scientific provides equipment that is used for safety and industrial hygiene in potentially dangerous locations. Principal markets for the Company’s products include oil refineries, oil exploration and drilling operations including offshore rigs, underground mining and tunneling, utilities including telephone, electric, natural gas, water and wastewater treatment facilities, municipal agencies such as police, fire and hazardous response units, government regulatory agencies such as EPA, OSHA, and MSHA, insurance companies, and food and beverage-processing companies.

The company started in 1976 as the Research Division of National Mine Service Company (NMS) with a focus on developing instrumentation to detect methane gas. In 1985 NMS sold the division, and Industrial Scientific Corporation began independent operations on January 25, 1985.

With continuous investments in research and engineering design, the instrument family grew to include patented technologies and state-of-the-art designs. Industrial Scientific became the name for the most rugged and dependable gas instrumentation on the market.

On June 30, 1993, the company had its initial public stock offering, and was traded on the NASDAQ exchange for almost 6 years. Based on the commitment to doing the right things for the right reasons, the stock was removed in 1999 from public trading. As a private company Industrial Scientific is better able to concentrate on the intensive, long-range research programs needed in their industry.

The Company’s products range from hand-held / portable instruments capable of monitoring from one to six gases, to permanently installed systems capable of monitoring many different gases in hundreds of locations from a central monitoring station. The products carry third-party intrinsic safety and performance approvals including ATEX/CENELEC, UL, MSHA, CSA, and bear the CE mark.

Through technical breakthroughs and perseverance in product development, Industrial Scientific has released tremendously innovative products, including the Docking Station® , GasBadge™ Plus and GasBadge™ Pro Single Gas Monitors, MX6 iBrid™ and iTX Multi-Gas Monitors, iTrans™ single or dual fixed-point monitors and the WIT (Wireless Information Transmission) Systems fixed gas detection product line. In 1999, the Docking Station™ revolutionized the gas detection industry by automating the calibration, instrument diagnostics, record-keeping and recharging of portable gas monitors. As the pioneer of this ground-breaking technology, Industrial Scientific took this concept even further in November of 2004 by introducing the iNet Instrument Network™ – a total cost of ownership program that eliminates the most cost-intensive and time-consuming tasks involved with managing a gas monitor fleet.

Combining the two-way communication technology of Industrial Scientific's DS2 Docking Station™ and the capabilities of the Internet, iNet continually monitors for conditions such as low, empty or expired calibration gas, marginal or failed sensors, and days since last calibration. Weekly e-mail reports are sent on the status of the instrument fleet and immediate reports are sent when a problem is detected. A number of options are available to handle any service requirement based on an end-user's individual needs. Should a malfunction occur, iNet automatically dispatches an on-site service visit, replacement monitor or new part depending on the service program selected. Industrial Scientific’s rapidly growing service network also aims to reduce the downtime of instrumentation and the need to send equipment off-site for repair.

Employing over 850 people, Industrial Scientific has manufacturing operations based in Pittsburgh (USA), Arras (France), Dortmund (Germany) and Shanghai (China), provides technical services to customers from local service centers around the world, and has additional subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Dubai, Germany, The Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Industrial Scientific is dedicated to preserving life and property by providing highest quality products around the world.
