Testing and characterization
Enabling science around the world since 2009
Ossila was founded in 2009 by a team of researchers and academics from the University of Sheffield who faced challenges sourcing the right scientific instruments and materials at fair prices. Frustrated by hidden pricing and over-engineered equipment, they set out to remove barriers to research and make high-quality tools more accessible. Today, we design and manufacture a complete range of products developed to cut through the noise and accelerate the pace of scientific discovery.
We pride ourselves on our excellent standard of customer care, and are trusted around the globe as a result. With customers in over 100 countries, our products are used by many of the world's leading universities and research institutions. We dispatch most in stock orders within one working day to avoid unnecessary delays in your work, and 82% of all orders qualify for free tracked shipping.
Drawing on decades of hands-on laboratory experience, our team of scientists and engineers understand your challenges and are here to provide expert technical support whenever you need it. To empower your research further, our knowledge center is continually updated with free resources spanning a range of topics.
Ossila’s components are of high quality, excellent consistency, and are readily available in sensible quantities. This means the only variables that change when we make devices are the actual variables we planned to study. This helps us push forward our fundamental research more quickly...
Dr. Alan Dunbar - Senior Lecturer in Energy, University of Sheffield
Ossila's pre-patterned substrates and compatible test equipment have enabled researchers to significantly increase the production rate of devices - and most notably, made possible the reliable comparison of data, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
Professor Natalie Stingelin - Professor of Functional Organic Materials, Imperial College London
We find Ossila's equipment very user-friendly and practical for our processes (solar cell research), and have used them since 2015. They provide good value for startups and SMEs...

Battery Materials: The Key to High-Performance Energy Storage
Battery materials are the components that make up a battery, each serving a specific role in storing and harnessing electrical energy. The most well-known components are the electrodes (cathode and anode). Whether it’s a lithium-ion, sodium-ion, nickel, solid-state or other battery technology, the key components of a battery remain mainly unchanged.
