ISL by PAC is a global provider of scientific apparatus and instruments for testing petroleum and petrochemical products in the lab and online. More than 20 automatic analyzers bearing the ISL brand are recognized for increasing test precision, boosting laboratory efficiency, reducing costs, enhancing test safety, and eliminating operator subjectivity and human error.

 

ISL’s story began nearly 34 years ago when a group of engineers and scientists in the North of France, in the heart of the country’s petrochemical industry, began developing automatic instruments for use in the petroleum industry. Their facility, and the location, turned out to be an excellent proving ground for research and development of their new instrumentation. By the mid 1970s, several quality instruments had been developed and were being marketed in Europe. It was during this period in 1975, that the ATPEM Trademark was born. The most famous of these new instruments was the Automatic Atmospheric Distillation ASTM D86 and the CPP 97, Automatic Cloud and Pour Point Analyzer, introduced in the early ’80s.

 

Adding several new automatic instruments each year, ATPEM soon became a worldwide leader in automatic petroleum testing instrumentation. In 1986, ATPEM was reorganized and became ISL. ISL soon became a worldwide leader in automatic petroleum testing instrumentation, and today is part of the PAC global family of leading analytical technologies and instrumentation serving a wide range of industries.

 

Today, ISL is a member of PAC, an international manufacturing and service organization, with a diverse catalog of over 250 petroleum, petrochemical, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical analysis solutions.
