About Company

Istran - over 30 years of experience in electrochemical analysers

Istran was founded in 1995 to develop and produce chemical analysers for laboratories and outdoor applications as well as for online monitoring of waters and technological liquids. The analysers of Istran have found numerous applications in environmental analysis, food chemistry, process analysis (microelectronics, chemistry, metallurgy, water resources, etc.).Most applications make use of flow-through coulometry and in-electrode coulometric titrations - methods developed or improved by Istran in cooperation with Slovak, Czech and German universities.

The Mind Behind Istran

Professor Ernest Beinrohr

In 1995, Professor Ernest Beinrohr founded Istran, Ltd., a company dedicated to the development and production of electrochemical field, laboratory, and process analyzers. As the founder and CEO, he has guided the company with a unique combination of scientific expertise and practical innovation.

Portrait of Prof. Ernest Beinrohr, Electrochemical Analysis Expert

Professor Ernest Beinrohr is a renowned expert in the field of analytical chemistry, with extensive experience in both academia and industry.

He graduated from the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava in 1974, where he later completed his doctoral studies in 1979 with a focus on the chemical properties of dithiocarbamate complexes. He began teaching at the same university, where he was appointed associate professor in 1989 and later full professor in analytical chemistry.

Between 1993 and 1999, he worked as a visiting professor at the Széchenyi István University in Győr, Hungary. Since 2005, he has been a professor at the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, Slovakia.

In 1990, Professor Beinrohr was awarded a research fellowship by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Bonn, Germany, which allowed him to work for nearly two years at the Max Planck Institute for Metal Research in Dortmund. There, he conducted research on ultra-trace analysis using spectroscopic and electrochemical methods.

His teaching portfolio includes courses in general analytical chemistry, analytical spectroscopy, trace analysis, process analytical chemistry, and electroanalytical chemistry. He is the author or co-author of several university textbooks, including Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy, Environmental Analytical Chemistry, and Analytical Chemistry, as well as laboratory manuals and educational software tools.

His current research interests include trace analysis, analytical spectroscopy, electroanalytical chemistry, online sample preconcentration, and automation in analytical chemistry. His team has successfully combined electrochemical sample preparation methods with preconcentration techniques for atomic spectroscopy.

Professor Beinrohr has published over 100 original research papers and presented more than 350 contributions at scientific conferences, including 70 invited lectures at international events. His work has been cited over 1100 times according to the Science Citation Index, with an h-index of 20.

He is a member of the Slovak Spectroscopic Society, the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker, and serves on the international advisory board of the journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry.

His significant contributions to electroanalytical flow systems in process analysis have been recognized internationally, including a prestigious lecture at the Technical University of Dresden as part of the “Names Lectures” series.

With his strong academic background, innovative research, and industrial experience, Professor Beinrohr is a leading figure in analytical chemistry both in Slovakia and internationally.
