Microtechnix: What we do

Our focus

We digitize and automate microbiology QC in GxP facilities based on imaging

Microtechnix specializes in the development of image-acquisition devices and image-analysis tools. We develop hardware and software to automate and simplify the way you run end-to-end processes. Which means you need less hands-on time and can focus on results. We make your applications more consistent, more reliable and more accurate than ever before.

Company history

MicroTechnix was established in 2013 with a mission to improve the speed, efficiency and reproducibility of  imaging applications in life sciences. Founder Wouter Christiaens originally envisioned the company as a playground for engineers, but a powerful desire to provide scalable solutions to customers was the driving force to transition into a product oriented company.

Based on high-end optics, the Scanlab, Macrolab & Macroscan product lines were developed to serve the rapidly growing global market of cell based imaging. Years of research into optics, resulted in the development of a proprietary patent-pending optical system catering to the needs of the microbiology QC market. This resulted in the launch of our EMMA product line at the end of 2023.

From the start,  Teach & Read technology to automate various lab processes was developed internally to serve our global customer base. By 2019, Microtechnix started to incorporate an approach that allowed to use vision AI; shifting the standards of accuracy and consistency in lab testing to higher levels.
