  • Founded in 1975 by Alan Cussens who remains the Company Chairman.
  • During the early years following the company's formation Biral became a leading UK distributor of scientific instrumentation in the fields of aerosol science, meteorology, fluid mechanics, filter testing and environmental monitoring. Our reputation has always centred upon our technical expertise in these specialist areas, particularly meteorology and aerosol science, and our ability to provide customers with turnkey solutions.
    •
  • In 1993, an engineering division was formed which led to our first UK Ministry Of Defence (MOD) contract win developing specialist detection equipment against biological threats. In collaboration with the University of Hertfordshire, Biral’s proprietary "ASAS Technology" was developed and commercialised resulting in the B1010.  
    •
  • The Biral B1010 was the first commercially available instrument capable of simultaneous measurement of aerosol particle size and shape with throughput of 10000 particles per second. Since then, other military contracts have followed including Biral becoming a partner in the MOD’s cutting-edge Integrated Biological Detection System (IBDS) project.
    •
  • Biral’s ASAS Technology attracted such considerable interest within the aerosol research community that the technology was further enhanced for the product release of the Aspect in 1998. With a versatile design and powerful analytical software, the Aspect is a particle size and shape analyser for wider applications within industry and scientific research.
  • In 1997 Biral acquired the HSS technology for their market leading visibility and present weather sensors. Device manufacture followed shortly, further strengthening Biral’s involvement in the meteorological field.
