Information
Founded in 1970, Columbus Instruments is an industry pioneer with over 50 years of engineering excellence, cited in more than 5,000 scientific publications worldwide. As creators of early metabolic phenotyping and automated respirometry systems, we empower researchers to break boundaries in both Life and Environmental Sciences with highly trusted, consistent, and customizable data.
Our solution portfolio spans two dedicated scientific divisions:
Life Science Division (Behavior, Physiology, & Metabolism): As leaders in in vivo preclinical research, we provide automated monitoring systems designed to track physiological and behavioral parameters. Key examples include:
Oxymax-CLAMS: The premier gold standard for 24-hour, automated, non-invasive metabolic phenotyping.
Treadmills & Running Wheels: High-precision motor coordination, exercise, and activity tracking tools.
CI-SHELL: Our latest innovation for simplifying complex animal behavior analysis and home-cage monitoring.
Environmental & Sustainability Division: Developed in response to historic environmental cleanup initiatives (including work with the US EPA), this division applies ultra-sensitive gas-sensing technology to ecological research. Highlighted by our patented closed-loop Micro-Oxymax respirometer, we deliver industry-leading accuracy for biodegradability testing, bioremediation, clean energy development, and microbial respiration studies.
From custom in-house engineering to lifetime technical support, Columbus Instruments combines rich heritage with modern innovation to help scientists achieve reliable results for a healthier and greener world.
