At Cairn we understand that the easiest way to get ideas for leading-edge products is to listen to the people who know what problems need to be solved; our customers. As a result, new ideas for instruments that are currently unavailable from mainstream suppliers are always welcomed.

Many of the standard products in our range originated from bespoke designs, and the development of these ideas into commercial products is a key part of our business strategy. Consequently we consider it dishonest to charge innovative customers large design costs for sharing their good ideas with us and prefer to recoup our investment from profits when custom components become 'off the shelf' products. Below are listed some examples of custom projects that we have undertaken in recent years, several of which have gone on to become standard products.

Typical Projects
  • Dual-laser galvanometer controlled TIRF system for variable depth sectioning
  • Luminescence chamber and detection system for photometry and imaging
  • LED bank and temperature controlled chamber for Circadian rhythm studies
  • Solar emulation
  • Multipoint photometry using fibre-optics
  • Cardiac imaging systems
