What GAMPT does

GAMPT mbH (Gesellschaft für Angewandte Medizinische Physik und Technik) is a privately held German limited liability company headquartered in Merseburg, Saxony-Anhalt, founded in 1998 by former researchers from the Institute for Medical Physics and Biophysics at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. The company designs, manufactures, and sells specialized ultrasonic measurement instruments organized into four product lines: ultrasound education equipment (echoscopes, continuous wave generators, Doppler systems, CT scanners, and experiment sets for universities and schools); medical technology devices (BubbleCounter BCF300 and BCFL400 for microbubble detection in extracorporeal circulation, and the THED time-harmonic elastography system for non-invasive organ diagnostics); sound field measurement systems (membrane, needle, HIFU and thermoacoustic hydrophones, 3D sound field scanners, and hydrophone calibration services); and laboratory/industrial instruments (Fluidoscope FS400, Layerscan2 process monitoring, plus custom OEM development services). The company operates an EN ISO 13485-certified quality management system since 2017 (recertified 2023) for medical bubble and coagulation detectors and holds proprietary hardware control software (xyz.dll) for its scanner systems.

GAMPT generates revenue through a combination of direct enterprise field sales and a global distributor network spanning 40+ countries across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Australasia, with separate channel structures for education and medical technology products. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company introduced a leasing option in March 2025 for its high-value BubbleCounter devices. Customer segments are concentrated in higher education (primary) and medical technology (primary), with secondary segments in research institutions (including PTB Braunschweig and Fraunhofer) and industrial laboratories. The company participates in multiple EU-funded collaborative R&D projects (HEALS with Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, UltraSep with Fraunhofer IMWS, BRAINSAVER with Leipzig University Medicine, inno-Blu) which provide non-dilutive project funding. Marketing channels center on international conference participation (IEEE IUS, Europerfusion, ICU, DGPTM), scientific publications, university outreach, and downloadable technical resources. The management team is led by Managing Director Dr. Michael Schultz, with a small leadership group covering marketing, electronics, software, and production.
