Oxford Instruments Superconducting Wire

OST was a leading global supplier of superconducting wire for MRI, NMR, and high-energy physics applications; widely utilized in commercial imaging and scientific projects until acquisition by Bruker/BEST in 2016. Oxford Instruments Superconducting Wire was a world-leading supplier of superconducting wire primarily used in medical imaging (MRI/NMR) and large scientific research magnets. Its market extended globally, servicing major OEMs and big science collaborations. In November 2016, it was sold for $17.5 million to Bruker Corporation (BEST), where it continues operations as part of the world's largest provider of low-temperature superconductors. It is not a drug developer, but a critical contributor to healthcare and scientific instrumentation through device components.
