1992
Omicron Research Ltd was originally formed as a market research consultancy and successfully traded for its first three years providing statistical and marketing services to the primary health care and scientific equipment business sectors.

1996
Saw a change of direction as we acquired sole UK dealership rights for the DISTEK range of tablet dissolution test equipment, used exclusively within the pharmaceutical industry.

1998
We became an Agilent Technologies Value Added Reseller for their UV-Visible Spectroscopy product range.

2000
An expanding Omicron added the DissoPrep line of Media Preparation instrumentation to its portfolio. By now the company had gained substantial expertise in supplying, maintaining and calibrating tablet dissolution test equipment across a very wide customer base, which included many of the largest UK pharmaceutical manufacturers and research centres.

2001
Omicron broadened its market perspective by adding the UK dealership for CAMAG HP-TLC instrumentation with the intention that this world market leading product line would offer further growth potential for the business and expand the business into new industries.

2003
Omicron once again increased its product offering to its core customers by adding a hardness tester suitable for applications in the pharmaceutical and toiletries industries.

2004
Omicron became the authorised UK distributor for Machery & Nagel Chromatography products. At the end of the 2004 company business year Omicron was still growing with 20% being support related revenue, providing a strong financial base for the company.

Omicron’s excellent performance since its inception has been based on its core business value of supplying and supporting top quality products to its principal market, backed up by top quality, experienced personnel providing personal service values to customers.
