Emka Technologies

What Emka Technologies does

Emka Technologies (emka TECHNOLOGIES) is a French-headquartered (Lisses, France) provider of integrated preclinical physiological monitoring systems for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, contract research, government, and academic research organizations. Founded in 1991, the company builds hardware and software for in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro studies covering cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological endpoints, and reports an installed base of 7,600+ systems across 1,750+ institutions with reference users including Roche, Novartis, AstraZeneca, Merck, Boehringer Ingelheim, AbbVie, Regeneron, Charles River Laboratories, USAMRIID, Harvard, and Karolinska Institutet.

The product platform centers on IOX2 data acquisition software (GLP-compliant, handling up to 200 simultaneous signals) and ecgAUTO analysis software (proprietary shape-recognition-based ECG/arrhythmia/HRV analysis with 15+ years of proven use), supported by the easyTEL+ family of implantable digital telemetry transmitters (mice through large animals), the emkaPACK5 non-invasive jacket telemetry system, ecgTUNNEL non-invasive rodent ECG, emkaBATH tissue bath systems, the isolatedHEART Langendorff/Working Heart perfusion platform, and complementary modules for EEG, study design, data reduction, and audit management (EEG+, studyDESIGNER, datanalyst, auditCENTRAL). The platform integrates with third-party systems including Noldus EthoVision (behavioral tracking via easySYNC), National Instruments data acquisition, Transonic flowmeters, and DSI implants, and exports SEND 3.1 compliant data into Instem and Xybion preclinical platforms.

Emka monetizes through a mix of one-time hardware sales, one-time software licenses (with optional GLP/SEND modules), recurring Premium Care maintenance and support contracts, and professional services for installation, training, surgery, validation, and data analysis. Distribution is executed through a global distributor network combined with a direct enterprise sales motion staffed by application specialists who provide consultative solution specification, on-site installation, and training. Marketing relies on scientific conferences (ISHR, Safety Pharmacology Society, SOT), publications-database-driven credibility, a Knowledge Center content hub, hosted webinars, and a free custom literature search service. Emka also operates as a related company to SCIREQ, cross-referring respiratory and inhalation-exposure inquiries into SCIREQ's flexiVent, vivoFlow+, and inExpose product lines.

Core offering

emka TECHNOLOGIES designs, manufactures, and sells integrated hardware and software systems for preclinical physiological monitoring used in drug safety, pharmacology, toxicology, and basic biomedical research. The portfolio includes implantable and non-invasive wireless telemetry systems, ECG/respiratory analysis software with shape-recognition automation, tissue bath and isolated heart perfusion systems, and complementary data acquisition platforms, sold primarily to pharmaceutical, biotech, CRO, academic, and government research institutions worldwide.

Product overview

Emka Technologies provides a comprehensive portfolio of preclinical physiological monitoring solutions comprising both hardware systems and software platforms. The core offerings include IOX2 data acquisition software and ecgAUTO cardiovascular analysis software, which form the software backbone of the platform. Hardware products span in vivo telemetry systems (easyTEL+ implantable and emkaPACK5 jacket telemetry for rodents and large animals), non-invasive solutions (ecgTUNNEL for rodents, CODA for blood pressure), ex vivo systems (emkaBATH tissue baths, isolatedHEART perfusion systems), and respiratory equipment (flexiVent, vivoFlow+, inExpose). Add-on modules including ecgAVG, EEG+, datanalyst, studyDESIGNER, and auditCENTRAL extend functionality for specialized analysis, study management, and regulatory compliance. The platform integrates with third-party solutions including Noldus EthoVision for behavioral tracking, National Instruments data acquisition, and SEND-compliant data export to Instem and Xybion systems.
