Electrochemical Systems for Life Sciences

We’re fascinated by how electricity can shape living systems — how a signal, a pulse, or a subtle shift in potential can guide cells, reveal insight, or spark change. At Electrophorus, we build tools that make this connection possible. Our mission is to give scientists the means to interact with biology through electronics — to explore, understand, and influence life using the language of electrons.

What Our Clients Say

“We worked with the Electrophorus team at the inception of our startup on the custom design of planar electrochemical systems, and they provided fast, high-quality prototype manufacturing that helped my team hit the ground running.”
Dr. Sophia Bidinger Founder, CEO - Bainbridge Bio
"We have used several versions of the BRICK electrochemical system for hydrogen peroxide delivery in 96-well plates for our cancer research. The Brick was extremely powerful for us, as it allowed for the first time to perform high throughput experiments and automated dosing of peroxide during the course of long-term experiments. This eliminated the need for complex perfusion systems and was controlled from a computer. We also appreciate the expert know-how of the Electrophorus team in guiding experimental design very much."
Prof. Rainer Schindl Chair of Medical Physics and Biophysics - Med Uni Graz
"We have worked with the devices that Jiri and Eric have provided and found them to be innovative and performant. We have used their expertise on local hydrogen peroxide and oxygen detection to integrate sensors into cell stimulation experiments."
Prof. George Malliaras Bioelectronics Laboratory - University of Cambridge, UK
Electrophorus provides transformational technology to generate local hypoxia. I am a big fan. We have utilised their microelectrodes to manipulate the development of early Drosophila embryos. A significant advantage of the devices that Electrophorus designs is that they can be seamlessly integrated into existing microscopy setups. We also made use of their support with microamperometric oxygen detection and measurement of oxygen gradients.”
