About Us

Serving the life sciences industry since 2001, Seahorse Bioscience provides industry-leading analytical instruments, biomanufacturing systems and consumable labware products for biological research and drug discovery. Our customers include scientists at academic institutions, pharmaceutical and biotech organizations, as well as OEM manufacturers of assay kits and lab instruments suppliers.

Novel XF Instrument Technology

Introduced in 2006, our extracellular flux technology combines a sophisticated electro-optical instrument with “smart plastic" cartridges to enable the real-time measurement of cellular bioenergetics in a non-invasive, multi-well microplate format.

Utilized by scientist around the world, the measurement of extracellular flux plays an important role in the drug discovery and development process. The XF Series of extracellular flux analyzers has become the worldwide standard for mitochondrial dysfunction and for performing quality control pre-screens for all cell-based assays.

Powerful SimCell Bioprocessing Optimization Platform

Since 2003, our SimCell technology (formerly Bioprocessors) modernizes biologic drug manufacturing scale-up and optimization using "smart plastic", microplate-sized cards with six small bioreactors. The system offers Biopharmaceutical and CMO customers a strong competitive advantage in developing and optimizing production of biologic products from mammalian cell culture.

Innovative Labware Development

Since 1984, our labware manufacturing group (formerly Innovative Microplate) has designed and produced more molds for microplates than any other company in the world. OEM assay kit manufacturers, instrument suppliers, and end users rely on our expertise in designing and manufacturing sophisticated, high-quality molded consumables on time and at reasonable costs.

Our customers are innovators that want to explore challenging design concepts that must interact with new hardware, reagents or biology. By offering design, tooling, molding, testing and assembly steps under one roof, we are able to iterate designs quickly and at low cost. Our customers appreciate our ability to work with them to optimize challenging new designs and our willingness to accommodate the ramp of production volumes as new products are introduced and gain traction.
