WPI's numerous innovations include:

• ISO-NO Mark II, the world's leading nitric oxide sensor.
• EVOM, the most widely used voltohmmeter for TEER research.
• EVC4000, the most advanced epithelial voltage and amplifier clamp available.

In 1990 we moved from our original home in New Haven, Connecticut, to Sarasota, Florida. As worldwide demand for WPI products increased, offices were opened in London, Berlin, Tokyo and Melbourne. Today, WPI continues to diversify and innovate -- our latest catalogue contains over 1500 items such as data acquisition systems, digital cameras, glass capillaries, pre-pulled glass micropipettes, microsyringe pumps, fibre optic spectrometers, micromanipulators, electrodes and more. Our newest products include a popular line of inexpensive microdissecting instruments, adjustable pipetters and binocular microscopes.

WPI Inc Quality Statement

World Precision Instruments, Inc. (WPI) produces and supplies quality products for the worldwide biomedical research community. WPI is dedicated to serving its customers by providing excellent service and products that meet or exceed customer expectations, as well as conform to their stated specifications. Quality management, the major tool used to achieve these objectives, requires continuous process improvement and WPI has been working steadily to create and implement new and improved process mechanisms throughout its systems.

The product realization process at WPI incorporates several key controlling elements as outlined briefly below:

New Product design, development and transfer: accomplished by a team comprised of R&D, Engineering, Marketing, Production and Publications (and others on an as needed basis).

Design changes: changes to products manufactured in-house are managed by the Engineering Change Notice (ECN) Procedure. The ECN Procedure is documented and implemented by a product specific team that includes R&D, Engineering, Marketing, Production and Publications (and others on an as needed basis).

Inspection and testing of Incoming raw materials, components and finished product: all vendors are pre-approved by Purchasing and all materials are required to meet either OEM or WPI specifications determined by Engineering/R&D, as applicable.

Inspection of finished product: final product produced at WPI undergoes rigorous quality control (QC) testing to assure conformance to WPI performance or other specifications. OEM products, purchased for distribution, undergo inspection and may, in addition, be subject to QC testing. When appropriate, product will be calibrated and/or certified. Non-conforming product is rejected and corrective and preventive action is implemented.

Storage: inventory is tightly monitored and controlled by Production using a manufacturing software system. Inventory is maintained in an area with limited access for authorized personnel only.

Distribution: prior to shipment, sales orders undergo two checks. The first check occurs as the order is prepared and is compared against the sales order (packing slip) and the second is performed during the final packing by shipping personnel. Country specific voltage requirements, when applicable, are identified and confirmed earlier in the process during generation of the sales order.

WPI has enjoyed a 42-year history of providing excellent customer service and products. We are proud of this accomplishment and believe that our commitment to quality systems is essential to our past and future success.
