SDI Group
SDI Group specializes in designing and manufacturing digital imaging technology for various scientific applications, primarily through its Synoptics brands, which include Syngene, Synoptics Health, Synbiosis, and Syncroscopy, as well as the Artemis CCD company brands, such as Atik Cameras. The main subsidiary, Synoptics, focuses on creating specialized instruments for the life sciences sector. Over the years, SDI has expanded its portfolio through strategic acquisitions, including the purchase of Artemis and Perseu, which produce high-sensitivity cameras for both astronomical and life sciences applications. Additionally, in 2014, SDI acquired Opus Instruments Ltd., known for its Osiris infrared imaging system designed for art conservators. The company offers a diverse range of digital imaging solutions and aims to further enhance its capabilities by acquiring other firms that can contribute essential components and expertise in various market applications.
Chell Instruments has been supplying and manufacturing quality pressure and gas flow measurement and control instrumentation.
MPB Industries produces variable area flowmeters, flow alarms, flow transmitters, flow indicators, flow switches and level switches.

Thermal Exchange manufactures and maintains heat exchangers, coolers and chillers to the industrial, medical and scientific markets.
QSI designs and manufactures world-class scientific cameras for applications that require superior imaging performance such as astronomical, life science, research and industrial imaging.
Applied Thermal Control has grown to employ 15 members of staff and works alongside partners in carefully selected international distributors and service agents. ATC specialises in designing and manufacturing precision recirculation chillers and heat exchangers for use within the scientific instrument and process control markets, working in conjunction with OEM’s and end users in the UK and around the world.
Astles designs, manufactures and supplies bespoke chemical dosing systems and operates in niche markets, predominantly two piece beverage can manufacture. In addition, servicing of installed systems provides a repeat business revenue stream;
These devices can be used in both industrial and laboratory settings. Some of the units we can provide include electrodes, cables and connectors, OEM sensors, and numerous conductivity-related accessories. In order to meet increasing consumer interest, another plant was opened in Fife during the early months. They offer Sentek specializes in the bespoke engineering of electrochemical sensors, specifically designed to be used in water-based applications. Particularly in the production of pH conductivity sensors.
Atik Cameras designs and manufactures highly sensitive cameras. These are marketed for life science, industrial applications and for deep-sky astronomy imaging.
Osiris is the first infrared imaging system designed specifically for art conservators to provide high-resolution, high-speed images in a small portable camera. Osiris has been used to examine hundreds of works of art at many of the major national art galleries throughout the world. In the Louvre, works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Watteau have been examined. An ARM® microcontroller sits at the heart of the camera controlling the scanning system, driving the infrared sensor and sending the captured data to the PC over a USB connection. The PC receives the data stream and assembles it into an image of the under drawing, displaying it as the scanning process proceeds. The Board of SDI believes that the Osiris cameras will enhance SDI’s current product offering and intends to explore further applications for the technology beyond its current use.
Artemis CCD manufactures CCD cameras for astronomy and scientific imaging.
Synoptics Ltd focuses on the application of digital imaging technology. The company produces gel imaging and analysis systems, including basic and advanced gel documentation systems, blue light transilluminators, and reagents and dyes for fluorescence, chemiluminescence and fluorescence, chemiluminescence, proteomics, TLC, and zone measurement applications. It also offers Dymension, a software that analyses 2D gel images; GeneTools, an automatic image analysis software; GeneDirectory, a data storage and extended band matching software; and GeneSys, an image acquisition software.
