Instrument Purchase Services

Using a wide range of instruments in our consultancy role we are able to see how different manufacturer's instruments behave in the laboratory environment.  Scanning and transmission microscopes, energy dispersive x-ray analytical systems, instrument accessories, sputter coaters and cryo systems are involved in our training courses, giving us first hand experience on how they perform and how less experienced operators are able to understand the products sufficient to obtain high quality results

Having worked for three electron microscope manufacturers in demonstration, sales and marketing roles we have a vast amount of experience in understanding both the instruments and the methods used to market the products.  This sales knowledge, along with our depth of experience with the products, enables us to advise clients with a high degree of confidence that the ideal instrument is being purchased for the tasks proposed.  We are also able to deflect the high pressure sales and demonstration techniques used by the manufacturers and considerably ease the burden of the prospective purchaser.

Our services are available in three styles which you may use as parts or as a complete purchasing service.

1)    We will discuss your requirements and finances and then survey the current instruments that would be suitable for your establishment. We will prepare a report with our suggestions as to the most suitable instruments and essential accessories.

2)    Further to the above to prepare suitable samples of your material and visit the microscope manufacturers for demonstrations of the microscopes to determine the most suitable instruments for the tasks you wish to perform.  We may carry out this section for you and prepare a report, or you may join us for this evaluation.

3)    We will study the results obtained from the instruments with you and determine which has performed in the most satisfactory manner therefore which instrument should be purchased.
