What BIOEMTECH does
BIOEMTECH (legally BioEmission Technology Solutions S.A.) is a privately held Greek biotech founded in 2013 as BET Solutions and rebranded by 2017. Headquartered in Gerakas, Attica (Athens), Greece, with 11-50 employees (the company states a team of over 30 plus collaborators), it operates at the intersection of preclinical molecular imaging hardware and contract research services for the radiopharmaceutical field. It serves pharmaceutical and biotech drug developers, academic and research institutions, and nuclear medicine centers conducting radiopharmaceutical research, targeted radioligand/alpha therapy development, and molecular imaging studies.
The company's core technology is a portfolio of desktop-sized preclinical imaging scanners: β-eye (PET), γ-eye (SPECT/planar gamma), and φ-eye (optical fluorescence/bioluminescence). A central technical differentiator is the systems' ability to image alpha-emitting isotopes such as Ac-225 and Pb-212 — considered difficult or impossible on conventional preclinical systems — at clinically translational activity levels and scanning times, with simultaneous multi-animal imaging (up to four mice on the large field-of-view γ-eye). The portfolio is complemented by accessories (biomimetic mouse phantoms, vital-signs monitoring, rodent platforms), software tools, and an emerging GenAI-based tool that derives 3D dosimetry from 2D imaging data (developed under the Fortissimo Plus initiative using HPC resources from GRNET and CINECA). The φ-eye carries CE marking (2023) and the company is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
BIOEMTECH monetizes through three streams: hardware sales of its imaging systems, professional CRO services (in vitro assays, radionuclide therapy, molecular imaging, GLP toxicology, dosimetry, and disease/PDX models), and supporting software tools. Pricing is undisclosed and quote-based. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (Europe and major global accounts) with channel distributors for international markets — LabLogic (North America), Fusion Scientific Technologies (India), and Nuohai Life Science (China) — supported by scientific conferences, an annual preclinical workshop series, webinars, and content marketing. The company was substantially funded through EU research grants (Horizon 2020 projects including CUPIDO, nTrack, B2B, ERROR, VIVOIMAG) and a 2019 venture round from Metavallon VC, rather than large venture rounds.

BIOEMTECH competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Bruker Corporation: Bruker is a leading life-science instrumentation company offering preclinical PET, SPECT, MRI and optical imaging systems through its Bruker BioSpin / Molecular Imaging division. It is the most established commercial competitor in preclinical nuclear imaging and operates across far broader applications than BIOEMTECH's radiopharmaceutical focus.
- Revvity (formerly PerkinElmer Life Sciences): Revvity operates the PerkinElmer legacy life-sciences franchise, including IVIS optical imaging and a broad preclinical imaging portfolio. It competes in fluorescence/bioluminescence and PET/SPECT preclinical imaging and has a much larger global sales and service footprint than BIOEMTECH.
- Siemens Healthineers (preclinical / Molecular Imaging): Siemens Healthineers sells preclinical and clinical PET/SPECT/CT systems (e.g., Inveon legacy line) and is a broad incumbent in nuclear medicine imaging. While its primary focus is clinical, its preclinical instruments overlap with BIOEMTECH's β-eye/γ-eye at larger academic and pharma customers.
- Charles River Laboratories: Charles River is a global preclinical CRO offering safety assessment, discovery and radiolabeled services. It competes with BIOEMTECH's CRO services in molecular imaging, dosimetry and GLP toxicology for radiopharmaceutical and general drug-development sponsors, though at much larger scale and scope.
Direct peers
- Mediso Medical Imaging Systems: Mediso is a Hungarian manufacturer of preclinical PET, SPECT, CT and multimodal imaging systems (nanoScan, AnyScan). It is one of the closest direct competitors to BIOEMTECH's β-eye and γ-eye in preclinical nuclear medicine imaging.
- Molecubes: Molecubes is a Belgian vendor of benchtop preclinical PET, SPECT and CT systems (β-CUBE, γ-CUBE, X-CUBE). It directly competes with BIOEMTECH in the desktop/cube-format preclinical imaging category and targets similar academic and CRO customers.
- Invicro (a Konica Minolta company): Invicro provides preclinical and clinical imaging CRO services, including PET and radiopharmaceutical analysis. It is a direct competitor to BIOEMTECH's molecular imaging and dosimetry CRO services for pharma/biotech sponsors.
Others
- LabLogic Systems: LabLogic is a UK-based vendor of radiodetection, chromatography and QC instruments for life-science and nuclear-medicine labs. It is now BIOEMTECH's North American distribution partner, but its broader PET/SPECT radio-TLC and dose-calibrator portfolio overlaps with end-customers BIOEMTECH serves and makes it both a channel and an adjacent technology peer.
- CERTIS Oncology Solutions: CERTIS Oncology provides patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and tumor model services for oncology drug development. It is a strategic partner of BIOEMTECH for PDX-based radiopharmaceutical studies, but its disease-model offerings also compete with BIOEMTECH's own CRO disease-model service line.
- NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes: NorthStar is a US radioisotope producer expanding into therapeutic isotopes including Actinium-225. It is a strategic Ac-225 supply partner to BIOEMTECH, but its broader isotope-production business shapes the supply ecosystem that BIOEMTECH's α-eye value proposition depends on.
