Edinburgh Instruments

Edinburgh Instruments Edinburgh Instruments is a leader in the manufacturing of molecular spectroscopy instrumentation. Founded in 1971 by Professor S. D.

Smith OBE FRS, Edinburgh Instruments has become a global leader in the research, development and manufacturing of state-of-the-art spectroscopic instrumentation. We were formed as the first spin-out from Heriot-Watt University and were the first private company in Britain's first University "Research Park”. Edinburgh Instruments (EI) and it's 120+ employees are now located just outside Edinburgh i

n Livingston along with offices for our fellow Techcomp Group companies SCION and Techcomp Lab Products. EI products are used in an extensive range of markets and applications, including:

• photo-chemistry, physics, protein studies, biochemistry, biophysics,
• molecular spectroscopy, optical pumping, interferometry, plasma diagnostics, atmospheric studies,
• materials processing, solid state physics and material science

Over the years EI has continually diversified and developed new and innovative products, winning many international designs, technology and export achievement awards. We excel in providing one-to-one comprehensive customer service and continue to meet the needs of our customers worldwide.

Heather's had a busy few days installing a new FLS1000 at the South East Technological University in Waterford, Ireland!

The research group took to the training tremendously well and by the end of the day were enthusiastically measuring their own samples.

Between installation and training, Heather found time to explore Waterford and enjoy some of the stunning scenery you'd expect to find in Ireland.

Enjoy your new FLS1000 and the exciting research ahead.

We're thrilled to introduce our new placement student Cara!

Joining us from the University of Strathclyde as part of her MChem, Cara's looking forward to sharpening her spectroscopy skills and building on her practical lab experience.

Cara will be supporting our application and product teams to further develop our Knowledgebase resource centre on our website.

Welcome to the team Cara, its great to have you onboard.

We're excited to be attending the Faraday Institution Conference 2026.

Held in our home country of the United Kingdom, this flagship event brings together researchers, academics, and the industry experts leading the charge on electrochemical battery development research.

Representing Edinburgh Instruments will be Angela Flack, Raman Product Manager, and Matthew Berry, Application Scientist.

Who will be on hand to discuss your latest research, explore the challenges facing the electrochemical community, and share how our spectroscopy solutions support battery materials characterisation and development.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Could automated Raman workflows free up valuable research time?

Automation can help researchers spend less time on repetitive measurements and more time focusing on analysis, interpretation, and discovery.

In a recent webinar, we explored how automated Raman workflows can support battery research, demonstrating how measurements can be streamlined through automation.

While the examples focused on battery applications, many of these principles can be applied across a range of research areas.

ACS Fall, we're ready for you!

Our team, Samantha, Roger and Craig, are eager to get involved in one of the biggest events in the chemistry community calendar.

We've brought a couple model units of our instruments with us so if you'd like the opportunity to have a hands-on approach to learn about our instruments capabilities - swing by booth 510 to see for yourself!

You can even have a go at our Spin the Wheel game to win some great prizes!

It's day 1 of ICORS 2026!

Stop by the booth to tap into our teams expert knowledge about Raman spectroscopy!

Tonight, Iona is taking part in the scientific programme with a poster titled "Advancing Geochemical Characterisation Through Confocal and 3D Raman Microscopy". Check it out from 16:10-19:00

She'll also be delivering a talk: "Polarised Raman and Second Harmonic Generation Microscopy for Probing Symmetry, Strain, and Layer Interactions in Two Dimensional Material" Come along to Hall 2 on the 26th of August from 12:05-12:20

Let us know what you are looking forward to most!

Who was more excited in Bangkok: Mark's stomach, or our new customers receiving their brand-new FLS1000?

Our Operations Manager, Mark, recently travelled to Bangkok to install an FLS1000!

When he wasn't busy enjoying the amazing food scene of the city, Mark worked alongside both Techcomp colleagues and our customers, helping them build confidence with the instrument.

Happy researching!

It's been a big month for our staff - we're celebrating FOUR wonderful colleagues who recently completed their PhDs.

Congratulations to Pierre, Ellis, Michele and Heather - this is no small achievement and reminds us how lucky we are to have you all on-board.

A massive well done all round, we can't wait to see what you achieve next.

Exciting new research in the world of nanomaterials!

We're delighted to share a recent publication featuring our very own Application Scientist, Iona Hill.

This research explores a novel two step pulsed laser ablation process using Tellurium and Selenide to create quantum wires. The FLS1000 was used to further investigate the optical properties of these nanostructures, helping to further uncover the fundamental photophysics of emerging optoelectronic materials.

Congratulations to the authors on their publication in Materials Today Nano: Rajendra Subedi, Francisco Ruiz-Zepeda, Iona Hill, Geraldine Hallais, Etienne Herth, Grégory Guisbiers
