![]() With the restructuring and new corporate look, Scintrex and our Sister company Micro-g LaCoste are placing our full effort and resources into advancing the technologies for the Gravity and Magnetic markets. In 2001, LaCoste Romberg, based in Austin, Texas, a longtime producer of metal, spring-based land and air sea relative gravimeters, and Scintrex merged to form a new company known as LaCoste Romberg Scintrex, Inc., operating out of headquarters in Concord, Ontario. In the 1990s, Scintrex developed a new, automated resistivity imaging system (SARIS) and a new Cesium magnetometer (CS-3). In 1989, Scintrex developed a quartz-based relative gravimeter, the CG-3, based on the PhD thesis of Dr.Īndrew Hugill, who was Scintrexs Director of Engineering. In 1988, the company purchased the Earth Science Division of EDA Instruments Ltd., adding their line of exploration, seismology, and radon detection and monitoring instruments to its already extensive line of earth science instrumentation. ![]() In 1982, the company purchased the Cesium High Sensitivity Magnetometer division of Varian Associates Inc., thus bringing this valuable technology in-house, for use in both ground and aerial UXO applications. In the 1980s, Scintrexs technological base was further expanded, with the launch of an atomic absorption spectrometer, and the development of the revolutionary Luminex system, used for airborne and ground exploration for minerals. In addition, Scintrex developed the magnetic induced polarization method and the Metalog neutron-prompt gamma, in-situ analysis system, unique in both concept and execution. ![]() The combined company grew so rapidly that in 1969, Scintrex moved into a new plant located at 222 Snidercroft Road, Concord, which remains its current location.ĭuring the 1960s, the company introduced a line of induced polarization equipment, fluxgate magnetometers, airborne and ground electromagnetic systems for base metal exploration, and gamma ray spectrometers for airborne, ground and borehole exploration for uranium, all developed through its own efforts. Seigel became a member of the Board of Directors of E.J. In 1961, the company went public under the name of E.J.ĭr. Sharpe Instruments also acquired the technology of a quartz element gravity meter and started to produce it. ![]()
