Sequoia Scientific,
Inc. began operations in February 1995. The company's main business is
to manufacture scientific instruments and software, and carry out
academic research.
The company's technological expertise is in
electro-optics. The company's first product was the LISST-100 laser
particle size distribution analyzer. Soon thereafter, derivative LISST
products were added: LISST-ST for settling velocity distribution
observations, the LISST-25 suspended sediment concentration sensor, the
LISST-Portable instrument for streamside or shipboard use, and the
LISST-FLOC for observation of large aggregate particles. The highly
successful scientific software product HYDROLIGHT was transitioned from
research to a commercial product in 1998. The newest products, LISST-SL
and LISST-StreamSide are currently being development and will be available in early 2008.
Sequoia maintains
multiple research and instrument development contracts funded by
various sources, including the Office of Naval Research, the Naval
Research Laboratory, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science
Foundation, and other recognizable commercial and government sponsors.
These research contracts involve theoretical and observational studies
in sediment transport in marine boundary layers, and in optical
oceanography.
Sequoia Scientific, Inc. is located in Bellevue,
Washington, twenty minutes east of downtown Seattle. All research and
commercial activities of the company are performed at the Bellevue
facility. |
