History

Founded in 1971 by Professor S. D. Smith OBE FRS, FRSE, FinstP, Edinburgh Instruments Ltd is now one of the world’s largest manufacturers of cutting-edge molecular spectroscopy and gas detection solutions.

We were formed as the from Heriot-Watt University and were the initial private company on Britain’s original University “Research Park”. We are located on the outskirts of Edinburgh across three sites where we employ over 130 people.

We are pioneers of Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC), and in 1978 the company developed a Fluorescence Lifetime Spectrometer system based around the successful nanosecond flashlamp. This product range has culminated in the development of the FLS1000, the latest computer controlled, combined Steady State and Fluorescence Lifetime Spectrometers on the market and the FS5 one of the world’s most sensitive benchtop spectrofluorometers.

In the 1980s we introduced a full range of infrared and far infrared gas lasers (CW and pulsed CO2 and CO lasers and optically pumped TeraHertz lasers) to the market. We now offer a wide range of Lasers and LED’s.

In 2019 we diversified our range and introduced the DS5 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, as well as the RM5 Raman Microscope.

The DS5 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer is a high-performance dual beam instrument suitable for many analytical applications where accuracy and precision measurements are key to results.

The RM5 Raman Microscope is a compact and fully automated Raman microscope for analytical and research purposes. The truly confocal design of the RM5 is unique to the market and offers uncompromised spectral resolution, spatial resolution, and sensitivity.
