Oxford Instruments Nanotechnology Tools Limited is a long-established UK registered company, part of the Oxford Instruments group. Its registered SIC classification covers manufacture of electronic measuring and testing equipment not used for industrial process control, and associated industry tags point to physical sciences research tools, medical devices and instruments, and product design and testing. Evidence from an associated Oxford Instruments spares website shows the group supplies genuine spare parts and accessories for its own systems, including cryogenics, plasma technology, EBSD/EDS, AFM and NMR equipment. This indicates the entity's role sits within a group that designs, manufactures and supports scientific and analytical instrumentation, rather than being a distributor of third-party goods.
