We purchased 5 Black Comet spectrometers 11 years ago to support the analytical chemistry curriculum at my university. They continue to provide solid results for students. Support from the company for the Python interface that I wrote has been excellent across several years and several versions of drivers.

David Parrino was so great. Worked for hours over a couple of days to resurrect our EPP2000 that we purchased 22 years ago! Now we're back in business. Thanks so much Dave!

I have been working with David resolving some issues with my spectroradiometer. The customer service he has given me has been unmatched. So happy to have great people like David that understand not only the hardware and software, but also the nature of biological research. Once you're in the StellarNet family, they continue to improve their products and pass that knowledge on to their clients. The best product on the market keeps getting better!

This is a great product for compact, portable, robust spectral measurements. I don't know of a comparable system with the same quality and versatility for the price. The applications scientist, David Parrino, has a great deal of experience and insight to share to help in using the spectrometers effectively and provides great technical support. I would give the company fiver stars except that we have found the spectrawiz software to be buggy and not always the most straightforward to use. Nevertheless, the folks at StellarNet are ready to provide support and help us figure out how to get the job done.

I have used one of their spectrometers for years testing our lithium niobate products. It's always been great. Just had to chat with technical support and they were very responsive and helpful.

I purchased a used BLACK-comet spectrometer and sent it to StellarNet for calibration. It came back working perfectly. If you are considering purchasing from StellarNet I could not recommend them more highly. The customer service is the best that I have ever experienced. Stephanie in tech support is cheerful, patient, and totally competent. She always is able to immediately solve any problem that I have had. I am using the spectrometer to solve optical problems for my clients. Cheers DrBill S A Engineering
