hardware developer

Swabian Instruments, located in Stuttgart, Germany, is a research-driven company that develops innovative instrumentation for scientific measurements. While our technology emerged from photonic quantum computing, we have recently taken up the challenge to rethink dynamic light scattering. By applying our groundbreaking photon counting technology to DLS, we are proposing a new series of unique solutions for particle sizing. We strive to enable our customers, e.g., MIT, Harvard University, Cambridge University and NASA to solve their measurement and analysis challenges efficiently. In 2019, our team was a finalist in Germany's most prestigious entrepreneur award, the Deutscher Gründerpreis, and won second place at the Stuttgarter Innovation Award in 2021.
