Beckman's Space Engineering Group (SEG) was formed within the Scientific Process Instruments Division (SPID) in 1959. In 1964, it subcontracted to Space General Corp. to perform work for the U.S. Army. The SEG was tasked with exploring new techniques for detecting bacteriological warfare agents (like this instrument) and developing a device using the fluorescent antibody staining technique (FAST).
