Tour Our Building

In 2011 we purchased the derelict American Legion Hall in Camas, WA as our new headquarters. ZGF Architects worked with owner Leonard Felix to uncover and repurpose original historical details such as massive timber trusses, iron hardware, and wood floors. Our beautiful open-concept space encourages open dialogue and collaboration within and between departments, which goes a long way in helping us design and manufacture our excellent line of food science instruments.

Our History

Our parent company, CID Bio-Science, Inc., was established in 1989 with the introduction of our state-of-the-art handheld photosynthesis system. Since then CID has expanded to develop 13 instruments to measure plant function, continuously employing new innovations and technologies. Headquartered in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, CID instruments are represented by distributors in 44 countries.

In 2012, we renovated a historically-landmarked building to be our headquarters in Camas, WA. Our new home not only represents our commitment to our community, but symbolizes our company's creative philosophy: to pursue the innovative path and commit to the best possible vision of what we can create in everything we do.

Who We Are

Felix Instruments – Applied Food Science was founded in 2012 as a subsidiary of CID Bio-Science, Inc., which has been designing instruments for agricultural and environmental research for over 25 years. After decades of working with researchers in the academic and government sectors, we wanted to start fresh with a new brand directed at the commercial agriculture industry. Focusing on pre- and postharvest applications, Felix Instruments helps fresh market professionals maximize the value of their products with our line of portable Gas Analyzers and our NIR Produce Quality Meter.
