ABOUT US
We believe that cells hold the key to a sustainable future by revolutionizing the way we live.
The Amphasys Story
The story of Amphasys began in 2004, when researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) and Axetris AG envisioned a new way of analyzing living cells. Out of this idea grew a breakthrough: a chip-based impedance flow cytometry technology.
In 2012, Amphasys was founded as a spin-off from Axetris AG, part of the Leister Group, to bring this innovation to the world. Recognition soon followed: in 2013, we received the W.A. de Vigier Award, Switzerland’s most renowned prize for start-ups, and support from the Albert Koechlin Foundation and CTI Invest®.
Today, we are driven by the same vision that sparked our beginning — to make cell analysis simpler, faster, and mobile. Our technology is now applied in industrial production processes, empowering customers around the globe to improve quality and efficiency.
OUR AWARDS
How It Works
At the heart of Amphasys lies a unique technology: chip-based Impedance Flow Cytometry. Developed from pioneering Swiss research, this method redefines single-cell analysis. By measuring the electrical properties of cells as they pass through a microfluidic chip, our instruments deliver instant insights — without dyes, labels, or complex sample preparation.
Designed to be mobile and user-friendly, our analyzers bring the power of flow cytometry to places where traditional equipment cannot go. From plant breeding programs to industrial bioprocesses, Amphasys technology provides the precision, speed, and simplicity needed to make better decisions in real time.
What We Stand For
At Amphasys, our principles reflect not only how we innovate, but also how we empower our customers to succeed.
We are innovators at heart, driven by curiosity and the will to push boundaries. We believe that science should be simple and accessible, providing our customers with clear and actionable insights. We act with integrity, building long-lasting trust with customers, partners, and colleagues. We thrive on collaboration, because the greatest progress happens together. And we embrace our responsibility — to our customers, to society, and to the environment.
By living these principles, we aim to deliver more than cutting-edge technology: we provide reliable solutions that help our customers improve efficiency, ensure quality, and drive sustainable growth.
