On-Line Instrument Systems

On-Line Instrument Systems (OLIS) is a private U.S. manufacturer of research-grade spectroscopy and spectrophotometry instruments used in life science and other laboratory settings. The company focuses on UV/Vis, NIR, IR, circular dichroism, circularly polarized luminescence, rapid-scanning, and related analytical systems, along with instrument software, upgrades, accessories, and technical support. Its products are positioned for researchers working with clear, turbid, chiral, and other challenging samples, including protein, cell, and particulate-material applications. OLIS appears to be primarily a tools-and-instrumentation company rather than a therapeutics developer, so it does not have a conventional drug pipeline. The business emphasizes hand-built systems, modular upgradability, long product life, and custom support from its Athens, Georgia base.
