About Us

Founded in 1990, RBD Instruments (formerly RBD Enterprises) began operations in Eden Prairie, MN, primarily servicing older PHI systems and components. Over the next 18 years, our company has become the world-wide leader in developing and producing upgrade products for older PHI systems. Our model 147 PC upgrade product line supports most older PHI systems and provides improved reliability and a very user friendly and intuitive software interface.

In January 2008, we changed our name to RBD Instruments to better match our expanded mission to bring innovative and affordable products to the surface analysis community. We are excited about this change and look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve you in the coming years!

Our Businesses

Innovative Products for Surface Science

As with all of our previous upgrade products for older PHI systems and components, the new products that we develop will be tools that will be the best value in terms of performance and price.  We will focus on small niche areas where the needs are not being met by the other the surface analysis instrumentation companies.  We have several new products in the development phase and will keep you posted of their progress via the News section in this website as well as our Newsletter, The Service Detail.
