Core offering

Advanced Instruments develops and manufactures scientific analytical instruments used across bioprocessing, clinical diagnostics, and life sciences workflows. Its portfolio spans osmometers, cell culture analyzers, critical care blood gas analyzers, point-of-care meters, liquid handling verification systems, and cell line development solutions. Following the 2025 merger with Nova Biomedical, the combined entity sells hardware instruments alongside recurring reagents, calibrators, and consumables, supported by service agreements.

Product overview

Advanced Instruments, now merged with Nova Biomedical under the Nova Biomedical brand, offers a comprehensive portfolio of analytical instruments and solutions spanning multiple market segments. The product portfolio is organized around four core market areas: Bioprocessing (cell culture analyzers, osmometers, liquid handling verification, and cell line development solutions including instruments from acquired brands Solentim, NanoCellect, Artel, and SAL Scientific), Hospital/Clinical (point-of-care meters, critical care blood gas analyzers, clinical osmometers, and automated CSF cell counters), Outpatient Care/Veterinary (pre-hospital testing, outpatient solutions, consumer self-test, sports medicine, and veterinary analyzers), and Food & Beverage (dairy testing solutions including cryoscopy and fluorescence-based analysis). The portfolio includes multiple sub-brands including BioProfile for cell culture analysis, StatStrip/StatSensor for point-of-care testing, Stat Profile for critical care, OsmoTECH/OsmoPRO for osmolmetry, Artel for liquid handling verification, Solentim for cell imaging, and NanoCellect for cell sorting. The company provides integrated workflows with data management platforms like STUDIUS, supporting biologics development from cell line development through GMP-ready manufacturing.
