Radiometer Limited started trading on 1 January 1988. The company has 45 employees and an annual turnover of £11M.  Radiometer has 50 years experience of blood gas analysis.  In co-operation with the clinical chemistry pioneer Prof. Poul Astrup, M.D., RADIOMETER introduced the world's first acid-base analysers in 1954. Ever since, RADIOMETER has continued to innovate.  The product range has been expanded over the years to measure blood gases transcutaneously, which is especially helpful to monitor premature babies with breathing difficulties and to assess critical limb ischemia.  Oximetry variables and metabolites are now routinely measured together with blood gases.

To get reliable measurements and take good care of patients requires correct training.  A wide range of training materials and courses is available, adapted to the procedures and organisation of the NHS and private hospitals.

Radiometer is a part of the US-based Danaher Corporation with 50,000 employees distributed across 50 different companies worldwide.
