Clear Upfront Pricing
At Ossila, we believe that access to high-quality research equipment should be simple, honest, and fair no matter where you're based or who you are. That’s why we reject value-based pricing in favour of a transparent, cost-based approach. This means that what you pay reflects what it actually costs us to make and supply our products. In addition, because we offer fixed pricing, you can see the prices of all our products upfront on our website in your local currency or another of your choosing.
This philosophy is part of our broader mission to enable science by making advanced materials and equipment more accessible to researchers across the world.
"Value-Based" vs. "Cost-Based" Pricing
Many manufacturers and suppliers of scientific equipment and materials use "value-based" pricing. This means that you can't see their prices upfront, and the price you will be quoted may depend on what the seller thinks you’re willing (or able) to pay. We do things differently; our prices are calculated based on what the product actually costs to make. This is known as "cost-based" pricing.
How We Price Our Products
We work hard to ensure our prices are as low as possible without compromising quality. Here's how:
- We design of our equipment in-house to meet the needs of researchers, without all the bloat and unnecessary features that inflate the cost of important research
- We use lean manufacturing principles at our manufacturing hub in the UK, so we can provide rapid dispatch on our products while also keeping our operations efficient and being able to make design changes quickly without creating waste
- We sell directly to researchers around the world through our website or our quote request process, which means no sales reps or commission structures - this keeps our overheads low, and makes things quick, easier, and fairer for everyone
We pass these savings directly on to you.
Price Drop Guarantee
We understand that budgets are tight and timing matters. That's why we're always working to reduce the prices of our equipment, and why we also offer a Price Drop Guarantee on our equipment. If the price of a piece of our equipment that you’ve purchased from us goes down within 90 days of your order, we will reach out to you with a voucher equal to the value of the price drop.
