Our values
For over 50 years, Fine Science Tools (FST®) has been the leading distributor of precision surgical and microsurgical instruments, as well as laboratory accessories with offices in Foster City (USA), Heidelberg (Germany) and Hong Kong (China) supporting and serving customers across the globe. We are now on the 3rd generation and continuing the legacy that was established 50 years ago.
…from our customers is one of the most influential pillars which has continued to build our brand for over 50 years. We are hyper focused on our customers’ needs and remain meticulous and diligent on our quality standards of our instruments. Our wide range of products are hand-finished in-house. FST works worldwide to support researchers on their instrumentation needs and helping them to achieve excellence in their field.
We are dedicated to quality control, with technicians in our German office overseeing the inspection of FST instruments. We proudly stand behind our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase for any reason, you may return it for a full refund. At FST, excellence is not just a tradition, but a promise we make to our customers and dealers.
Handcrafted
Precision that leaves its mark
Our highly skilled and experienced surgical mechanics refine and perfect our instruments in FST’s very own workshop, a step that only we take in this manner. This is crucial for the precision and consistent quality of our products. For example, our Friedman-Pearson rongeurs with a tip diameter of 0.5 mm are unique in the world.
Our spring scissors have also established themselves in the research industry and are unsurpassed in their fineness. The result: a level of quality to be proud of - and to which we have now committed ourselves to.
Guaranteed craftsmanship
Our „Handcrafted“ symbol stands for 100% guaranteed craftsmanship and instruments, you can always rely on today, tomorrow.
