Linkam is a leading innovator in the field of scientific instrumentation, specializing in the design and development of systems that enable the precise characterisation of materials ranging from polymers to biological tissues, and from metals to composites. Trusted by some of the world’s most advanced research institutions and companies, Linkam’s instruments are integral to a broad range of scientific applications.

Each instrument is carefully designed and manufactured in-house by a dedicated team of electrical, software, and mechanical engineers. Many of Linkam's standardised sample characterisation systems were born from collaboration with scientists who were either dissatisfied with existing solutions or were seeking to develop something entirely new. The company works closely with scientists, continuously refining designs and prototypes to ensure complete satisfaction before moving forward with production.

What sets Linkam apart is its ability to rapidly assess whether a concept will work, and to deliver cost-effective, fully functional prototypes in a relatively short time frame. These prototypes are developed and built in-house at the company’s state-of-the-art facilities in the UK and The Netherlands.

Linkam has also collaborated with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to create tailored solutions for advanced analytical instrumentation. The company’s expertise spans a wide range of technologies, from atomic force microscopy (AFM) to cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM), working alongside the world’s most sophisticated technology companies.

If you have an idea for a new instrument, Linkam is ready to collaborate and design practical, cutting-edge solutions that can push the boundaries of scientific research.
