At Illumina, our goal is to apply innovative technologies and revolutionary assays to the analysis of genetic variation and function, making studies possible that were not even imaginable just a few years ago. These studies will help make the realization of personalized medicine possible. With such rapid advances in technology taking place, it is mission critical to have solutions that are not only innovative, but flexible, scalable, and complete with industry-leading support and service. As a global company that places high value on collaborative interactions, rapid delivery of solutions, and prioritizing the needs of its customers, we strive to meet this challenge. Illumina’s innovative, array-based solutions for DNA, RNA, and protein analysis serve as tools for disease research, drug development, and the development of molecular tests in the clinic.

Since 1985, LTI has been a leader in the laser measurement industry. It’s an industry we pioneered with a laser the U.S. Government used to measure in-flight distances between planes, and we’ve been reinventing the way people gather data ever since. The uses for LTI’s patented technology runs the gamut, from a custom laser NASA uses in space to recreational rangefinders used by golfers and hunters around the world. With our professional lasers, we are constantly making it easier for people to collect data. For instance, LTI’s handheld reflectorless total station changed GIS mapping forever and our most recent pocket-sized laser with a 3-axis compass has made gathering field measurements safer and more efficient for everyone. LTI engineering also transformed the traffic safety world by introducing a portable laser speed gun that lets an officer pinpoint an individual vehicle even in dense traffic. We recently raised the bar once again with our all-in-one handheld video laser for speeding and tailgating enforcement. When you look back, our history of innovation speaks for itself—and it's what makes us Measurably Superior.
