In 1937, Perkin-Elmer was founded by Richard Perkin, a banker and Charles Elmer, a court reported as an optical design and consulting company. In 1944, Perkin-Elmer entered the analytical-instruments business, and in the early 1990s, partnered with Cetus Corp. to pioneer the polymerase chain reaction equipment industry.
