The online catalog doesn't show an item that I know you sell, how do I order it? Even though the online catalog shows over 95% of our products, certain items can go out of stock at any time Please contact your Oxford Instruments Direct representative if an item you require is not listed on the website.
How do I use the "search" function? Enter the catalog number, name or description for the item you are looking for. A list of possible matches will be displayed for you to choose from.
What if the search finds too many results? Try the search again using multiple words e.g "outer window" (5 hits) rather than "window" (43 hits) When only one word is searched for, the system will search for every page where those particular letters appear, including being part of another word.
How do I remove items from the quote basket? Open your Quote basket by clicking on the link in the left menu. Change the quantity of the item you want to remove to "0", then click "update quote". In the same way you can increase the quantity of an item that is in your quote basket
