Closing the Gap in Cell Analysis
Many cell analysis tools perform well for specific tasks. However, they often fall short in bioprocess and cell culture development. They lack depth, are too complex, or work too slowly. Amphasys bridges this gap with a label-free, real-time technology. Additionally, it’s easy to use and built for decision-making, not delay.
The Smarter Way to Analyse Your Cells
Amphasys uses advanced Impedance Flow Cytometry to reveal what your cells are telling you. It works in real-time, without labels, staining, or incubation. The technology is based on electrical detection rather than optical methods. Therefore, it works across all cell sizes and media types. Moreover, it delivers results within seconds.
The impact? Bioprocesses can be monitored and optimized on the go. Furthermore, apoptosis is detected within hours instead of days. Additionally, cells can be reused after analysis for sorting or tissue culture.
Precision Tools for Real-Time Bioprocessing
Modern bioprocessing demands clarity, speed, and flexibility. Our Ampha cell analyzers deliver all three — the benchtop Ampha X30 for the lab, and the portable Ampha X10 for the production floor.
Ampha X30
Built for bioprocessing, the Ampha X30 turns cellular signals into actionable insights. It requires minimal sample preparation and delivers results within seconds. Therefore, it provides immediate feedback on cell viability, cell count, and culture health. Let your cells guide smarter process optimization and production efficiency. Furthermore, you avoid laborious sample preparation like labelling, staining, or incubation.
Ampha X10
Built for the brewery floor, the Ampha X10 is the portable, battery-powered member of the family. It measures single-cell yeast viability, exponential growth and the ready-to-pitch amount from your sample in about a minute. Therefore, brewers act on real data instead of guesswork. Furthermore, it is completely label-free — no staining, no lab, no waiting.
Why Bioprocessing Users Trust Amphasys
Any Cell, Any Size
Amphasys technology measures a wide range of cell sizes — from 1 to 50 μm and beyond. From bacteria and yeast to mammalian cells and even spheroids, our electrical detection method allows accurate analysis of cell count, viability, and metabolic activity, regardless of size or media.
Label-Free Analysis
Amphasys enables direct measurement of cells without laborious sample preparation, delivering fast, accurate data. And because we don’t alter your cells, they remain intact for reuse in sorting or tissue culture. No dyes. No markers. No incubation.
Real-Time Monitoring
Especially in process development and process control, the timely information is key to make decisions. While conventional methods usually need an incubation period, Amphasys’ technology only needs a minimal sample preparation to be ready for measurement — and results are available within seconds.
Applications Across Bioprocessing
The diversity of cell-based applications is as vast as the organisms themselves. From bacteria and yeast to mammalian cells, each cell type demands precise, real-time insight. Therefore, it drives process optimization and ensures quality.
That’s why bioprocessing teams need a flexible tool. It must adapt to every step and every species. Amphasys enables real-time, label-free single-cell analysis across all major cell types. As a result, it empowers faster decisions, more information, and better outcomes.
Explore how Amphasys transforms raw cellular signals into actionable insights. Consequently, it helps you solve bioprocessing challenges, step by step.
Yeast
Optimizing fermentation requires real-time insight into the physiological state of your yeast cells. Whether cells are dormant, in lag phase, or under stress, Amphasys delivers label-free, real-time data — without staining or incubation — to help you monitor and adjust conditions with confidence.
Human and Animal Cells
Monitor human and animal cell cultures with speed and simplicity. Amphasys provides real-time insights into cell viability, count, and metabolic status — helping you detect when cells are suffering from depletion of nutrients or under suboptimal conditions. And because no labels or dyes are used, cells remain intact for sorting or tissue culture after analysis.
Bacteria
Reliable bacterial monitoring — made simple. Amphasys lets you measure cell count and viability of bacterial cultures in real-time. Therefore, you avoid CFU plating, incubation, and complex preparation. Our label-free technology is based on impedance. As a result, it enables precise, on-the-spot monitoring of bacterial performance in bioprocesses. Moreover, it gives you the data you need to optimize growth, adapt conditions, and ensure process consistency.
Algae
Algae play a growing role in the production of biofuels, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals. With Amphasys, you can monitor viability, concentration, and cell health. Moreover, it works even in auto-fluorescent environments. Therefore, you gain better control of light exposure, nutrients, and harvesting strategies.
Other Cells
From fungi and spores to somatic cells in milk or fat-rich food matrices — Amphasys enables versatile monitoring across diverse applications. It is based on impedance technology. Our technology supports cell sizes from 1 to 50 μm. Additionally, larger cells like plant cells and spheroids can be analyzed. However, they require a specialized setup.
What makes Amphasys different from traditional flow cytometry?
Our technology uses impedance flow cytometry. This means we apply electrical detection instead of optical methods. Therefore, our technology is completely label-free. Additionally, it doesn't require hazardous and expensive reagents or apoptosis kits. Moreover, it needs no time-consuming sample preparation.
What makes Amphasys different from cell counters?
Our measuring principle is that every cell passes individually through a narrow channel and is automatically measured. In addition to counting, a lot more information is provided: viability, size, the cell health and metabolic status.
What cell types can I measure?
Our instruments support a wide range of cell types — including bacteria, yeast, algae, plant, human and animal cells. The Ampha X30 is optimized for cells between 1 and 50 μm, while other Amphasys systems enable analysis of larger cells up to 250 μm.
Can Amphasys measure in turbid or opaque media?
Absolutely. Our technology is impedance-based, not optical — which means it works reliably in turbid, opaque and auto-fluorescent media, or even food-based matrices like milk or fermentation broth. No need for clarification steps or optical transparency.
