Baltic Scientific Instruments (BSI) was established in 1994 on the basis of the Riga Research and Development Institute for Radio-Isotope Apparatus (RNIIRP, est.1966). 

Since its founding as a private enterprise, BSI has specialized in the development and fabrication of devices for spectrometric analysis based on semiconductor and scintillation radiation detectors. Our products are applied in multiple industries: nuclear power; environmental monitoring; geophysics and the mining industry; medicine and healthcare; research including space sciences; security systems and customs control; and other spheres.  To succeed in global markets for radiation detection and analysis equipment BSI  was certified to ISO 9001:2000 by TUV Nord Baltik in September 2007 and now every year confirms its certification
