What 2B Technology does

2B Technologies (legally 2B Tech LLC) is a Boulder, Colorado-based manufacturer of analytical instruments specializing in ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectroscopy for atmospheric and industrial gas monitoring. The company was founded in 1998 and operates with 11–50 employees, serving federal and state environmental agencies, academic and government research institutions, industrial process operators, and oil and gas customers. Its product portfolio spans ambient ozone monitors (Model 106-L, Model 202, Model 205 Dual Beam, Model 211 Scrubberless, Model 211-G, and the Personal Ozone Monitor), industrial ozone monitors (Models 106-M, 106-MH, 106-H, and 108-L), multi-pollutant air quality stations (AQSync, AQSync Solar Trailer, and AQLite), supplementary gas monitors (Model 405 nm NO2/NO/NOx and HERMES Personal Mercury), and calibration sources (Model 306 and Model 714).

The company's core technical differentiators include dual-beam UV absorption architecture, scrubberless designs that eliminate chemical consumables, DewLine Nafion tube humidity compensation for high-humidity deployments, and wide measurement ranges (0–100 ppm) that allow a single instrument to cover both ambient and industrial concentration regimes. The Model 202 holds US EPA Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) certification, enabling participation in regulatory ambient air monitoring networks. Notable deployments include NOAA's SAMBRASCH airborne ozone study over Colorado, Maryland Department of the Environment compliance monitoring on Hart Miller Island, and integration into STERISAFE's ozone-based disinfection systems for industrial sterilization.

2B Technologies operates a direct sales-led go-to-market model with quote-based pricing, selling instruments to government, research, and industrial customers globally. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales with secondary income from post-sale calibration, technical support, and repair services. The company maintains a low-profile marketing posture, relying on a detailed website, application-specific case studies, research co-marketing with academic and government partners, and a minimal social media presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Vimeo. The only disclosed funding event is a $223,717 National Science Foundation award in December 2017, and the company remains privately held with no reported outside equity capital.

Core offering

2B Technology designs, manufactures, and sells scientific instruments that use ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectroscopy to measure ground-level ozone, NO2/NO/NOx, and mercury vapor in ambient air and industrial environments. Its product portfolio spans ambient and industrial ozone monitors, multi-pollutant air quality monitoring stations (including solar-powered and portable packages), specialty monitors for mercury and nitrogen oxides, and ozone/NOx calibration sources. The instruments are sold directly to government agencies, research institutions, and industrial customers via custom quote-based pricing with post-sale technical support and calibration services.

Product overview

2B Technology is a specialized manufacturer of environmental and atmospheric measurement instruments with over two decades of experience. The product portfolio centers on ozone monitoring across multiple application contexts: ambient air quality monitoring (including portable and stationary instruments like Model 106-L, Model 202, Model 205 Dual Beam, Model 211 variants, and Personal Ozone Monitor) and industrial process monitoring (Model 106-M, 106-MH, 106-H, and Model 108-L). Beyond single-parameter ozone monitors, the company offers multi-pollutant air quality systems including the AQSync stationary monitoring station, AQSync Solar Trailer for remote deployments, and the compact AQLite package. Supporting products include the Model 405 nm NO2/NO/NOx Monitor and HERMES Personal Mercury Monitor for additional pollutants, along with calibration equipment (Model 714 and Model 306 calibration sources) to ensure measurement accuracy. The portfolio is organized around three core instrument families: specialized gas monitors (ozone, nitrogen oxides, mercury), multi-pollutant monitoring stations, and calibration/reference sources.
