Product description

Calibrated strips with blue dye for accurate tear production measurement in ocular diagnostics.

The Schirmer Tear Test is a diagnostic tool designed to measure tear production, aiding in the evaluation of ocular surface diseases such as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), pigmentary keratitis, and corneal ulcers. This test is also utilised to assess lacrimal gland function prior to procedures like cataract surgery.

Key features include:

  • Unique, easy-to-read calibrated strips: Facilitate accurate measurement of tear production.
  • Convenient markings for left and right eyes: Enhance usability and reduce potential errors.
  • Blue dye wicking: Improves visibility in measuring tear production.

This instrument is widely employed in ophthalmology and veterinary medicine, particularly in the diagnosis and management of dry eye syndrome. It is commonly used in veterinary clinics, animal hospitals, and research institutions focusing on animal health. The Schirmer Tear Test has been a standard diagnostic tool for several decades and remains relevant in current clinical practice.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
