Fantastic equipment (best light stimulators on the market), fast quotes, fast service (even for custom modification), quick to deal with non-standard use of their products. Even when I accidentally broke something they got us backup running within 48 hours.

Cairn Research has supplied our lab with numerous fluorescence imaging systems, including OptoScan Monochromators, Cairn OptoLED and arc lamp light sources, and an OptoSplit emission image splitter. The build quality of their equipment is excellent, and has proven both reliable and versatile in our lab's day-to-day research; our Cairn equipment has provided years of dependable service. In addition, their customer support has been fantastic, including efficient onsite support for the setup of new systems tailored to our research needs and prompt responses to the maintenance and recalibration of older equipment.

Cairn Research is a manufacturer of light sources and detection equipment for fluorescence microscopy. In my laboratory, I am using the Cairn OptoScan Monochromator for ratiometric fura-2 imaging of cellular calcium concentrations, and the OptoLED system for high speed imaging of transmembrane potentials from cardiac tissues. What I love about this company is the quality and the reliability of every piece of equipment that I purchased. The instruments are made of high-grade materials (mostly aluminum for the optics components) and are intended for heavy everyday use in the laboratory. They always work right out of the box and perform as expected. And this is also due to Cairn's expert customer service team who asks the right questions about intended use of the instrument and ensures that the configuration matches the customer's specifications before any parts are shipped. Cairn Research Ltd is a great company that I recommend without any reservations.

Cairn Research are a fantastic company, making bespoke scientific equipment to suit your experimental needs. Excellent customer support and very reasonably priced. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Over the past 20 years we have purchased a wide range of equipment from Cairn Research, ranging from several Optopatch amplifiers, OptoLED, Optosourse arc lamp and custom-made optical pathways for nanoscale measurements. The quality of this equipment is absolutely superb. Another major positive of this company is their support team, who provide a high quality service and rapid response to any issue we have.
