Yellowstone Scientific Instruments (YSI) is organized around development of a new class of instrumentation for chemical analysis. The focus of the Company is on designing, developing and manufacturing portable, easily-operated, handheld instruments that may be readily used in the field, as, for example, in measuring the presence of chemicals in environmentally sensitive areas. Yellowstone Scientific Instruments is creating a class of instrumentation capable of conveniently detecting a range of analytes for both chemical and biomedical applications. In the environmental, the firm offers Hand-held SERS Raman system for microbial detection in water; Field monitor for detection of brucellosis in Yellowstone bison and a Multianalyte sensor for characterization of deactivated nuclear reactor sites. In the Medical space: Fiberoptic-connected dialysis sensor for noninvasive BUN monitoring; Integrated Raman microscope and microviewing system; Drug release monitor for drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons; SERS-based Raman sensor for rapid urinalysis. Military applicatios include: Handheld Raman detector for chemical warfare agents in water and Spectroscopic analyzer for JP-8 jet fuel properties. For the Petroleum industry instruments include Mid-IR filter-based gasoline analyzer; mid-IR diesel analyzer; UV-vis-nir absorbance analyzer for diesel dye quantification
