About Us

Unicam Magyarország Kft. has been a key player in the Hungarian laboratory, research and industrial instrumentation market since 1993. Drawing on several decades of experience, we provide our partners with advanced analytical and testing technologies, high-level professional support and a reliable service background. Our aim is to ensure that our customers receive not only instruments, but complete, efficiently operating solutions that create long-term value.

The origin of the Unicam name

Unicam Instruments Ltd. was founded in 1934 in Cambridge, on Arbury Road. Its name derives from an abbreviation of the University of Cambridge: UNIversity of CAMbridge. Drawing on the instrument-development expertise accumulated at and around the university, the company initially developed and manufactured scientific instruments mainly for schools and universities. In 1993, the company was operating under the name ATI Unicam as a globally recognised instrument manufacturer with an international presence. Unicam Magyarország Kft. began distributing this portfolio in Hungary. Although ATI Unicam became part of Thermo Scientific in 1995, which marked the beginning of our company’s increasingly strong association with Thermo Scientific, we retained the prestigious Unicam brand name that had already become recognised in the Hungarian market. Despite the use of the original Unicam name and logo, Unicam Magyarország Kft. has always been fully Hungarian-owned. Thanks to continuous growth over the past years, the initial team of only a few people has expanded to more than 50 employees, and Unicam Magyarország Kft. has become one of the most significant players in the Hungarian instrument distribution market.

Unicam Magyarország Kft offers high-quality solutions across numerous fields:

Chromatography and mass spectrometry

Our chromatography and mass spectrometry solutions support the most important tasks of modern analytical laboratories. Our portfolio includes gas, liquid and ion chromatography systems, sample preparation and sample introduction solutions, detectors, consumables, as well as GC/MS and LC/MS systems. Our mass spectrometry offering ranges from quadrupole systems to high-resolution, high mass-accuracy Orbitrap analysers, from routine analytics to the most complex research applications.

Spectroscopy and elemental analysis

Our spectroscopy and elemental analysis solutions provide accurate, reliable and reproducible results for research, industrial and quality control tasks. Our portfolio includes atomic spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy, elemental analysis and NMR technologies, including AAS, ICP-OES, ICP-MS and AFS systems, elemental analysers, as well as FTIR, Raman, NIR, UV-VIS, XRF and NMR technologies. These systems are widely applicable in environmental analysis, the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, materials testing and the monitoring of industrial processes.

Microscopy and imaging

With our microscopy and other imaging solutions, we cover the full range of applications, from visible details to the nanometre scale. Our offering includes light microscopy (fluorescence, confocal and super-resolution), scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Our solutions can be used in education, research, clinical, pathology, cytogenetics, materials science, nanotechnology, semiconductor and industrial failure analysis applications. We also provide cameras, image analysis software, micromanipulation and electrophysiology tools, as well as special accessories for these systems.

Life sciences

Our life science portfolio supports both the daily work and the research tasks of biological, molecular biology and cell biology laboratories. Our solutions include microplate readers and washers, PCR and sample processing systems, automated isolation systems, fluorometers, cell counters, flow cytometers, gel electrophoresis and gel documentation systems, as well as multiplex RNA and protein quantification technologies.

Thermal analysis, microcalorimetry and rheology

Our thermal analysis, microcalorimetry and rheology systems help achieve a deeper understanding of the temperature- dependent, mechanical, viscoelastic and thermodynamic properties of materials. Our portfolio includes DSC, TGA, TMA, DMA and rheometer systems, as well as isothermal calorimetry and isothermal titration calorimetry solutions. These technologies play a key role in the research, development and quality control of polymers, composites, pharmaceutical materials, foods, coatings, battery materials and other advanced materials.

General laboratory equipment

Our general laboratory equipment provides the foundation for efficient, safe and reproducible routine laboratory work. Our offering includes balances, centrifuges, sample preparation and temperature-control equipment, rotary evaporators, water baths, thermostats, vacuum pumps, laboratory water purification systems and gas generators. Our sample preparation solutions provide reliable support for extraction, evaporation, concentration, filtration, centrifugation, cooling and heating, homogenisation and solution preparation tasks.

Industrial equipment

Our industrial solutions support critical testing tasks in manufacturing, quality assurance, maintenance and development. We offer non-destructive testing, visual inspection, wall thickness measurement and portable elemental analysis systems, complemented by high-speed cameras and industrial imaging solutions. Our equipment provides effective support in in-process inspection, failure analysis, technical cleanliness testing and the optimisation of industrial processes.
