Ocean Optics, an industry leader in miniature spectroscopy has instituted an exclusive 3-year warranty for the company's entire line of spectrometers. These are now covered for a full three years against manufacturing defects regardless of the application for which they are used. The warranty covers parts and labour needed to repair manufacturing defects that occur during the coverage period and also covers the costs of shipping warranty-related repairs to and from Ocean Optics.


With locations in the US, Asia and Europe, Ocean Optics is a leading supplier of solutions for optical sensing - fundamental methods of measuring and interpreting the interaction of light with matter. The company has sold more than 100,000 spectrometers worldwide since 1989. Ocean Optics' extensive line of complementary technologies includes chemical sensors, analytical instrumentation, optical fibres, thin films and optics. The company is part of the Halma group of safety and detection companies.

Ocean Optics says that this new long-term warranty is the first of its kind in the photonics industry and is based on the company's long experience, which has led to continuing improvements in quality and manufacturing to ensure the reliability and durability that customers now expect.
