This system, which detects pollutants in the emissions from vehicles with combustion engines, is shown being tested on an automobile at Beckman's Process Division.

It is unclear how this model of oxygen analyzer relates to the instrument invented by Linus Pauling (and produced by Beckman) during World War II.

Pictured in this image: a Beckman RAC (Respiratory Analysis Cart); Oxygen Monitor; OMII Oxygen Analyzer; LB-2 Medical Gas Analyzer; RR-2 Respiratory Recorder; and several models of LB-2 Medical Gas Analyzers that each…

Electroencephalographs are used to monitor and record electrical activity of the brain.

Developed from a Linus Pauling design during WWII, the technology behind Beckman Instruments’ oxygen analyzers ended up doing such diverse jobs as monitoring astronauts’ respiration, maintaining packaged food safety,…

Spirometers determine lung capacity and health by measuring how quickly and how much air is inhaled and then exhaled.

This image shows the graphical print-out of the instrument's readings. A respiratory recorder records both oxygen and carbon dioxide levels during respiration.

Spirometers determine lung capacity and health by measuring how quickly respiration happens and how much air is both inhaled and exhaled.

The Synchron systems run a wide range of clinical chemistry tests including drug and biological fluid analyses. The EL-ISE debuted in 1989. This image shows cropping marks for editing the photograph for publication…

The specific instruments in this system (including the one she is holding) are unidentified.

Beckman Array Systems were used for a wide range of chemical assays, including protein and serology analyses.

This image includes the system's power supply, cooler, and tank.

Electrophoresis uses an electric field to separate particles in a medium (like a gel) based on their size, charge, or a binding affinity.
