About us
Our Story
3Brain is the world’s first company to record cell activity using intelligent cell culture plates, daring to envision a future where big data is integrated into life science research.
Our mission remained steady over time: to develop microchip-based technology to revolutionize scientific research.
We are a pioneer in the deep-tech sector, with over two decades of scientific advancements in the industry. The headquarters are near Zürich, Switzerland, while our branch in Genova, Italy remains at the heart of our scientific validation activities. We have expanded our reach further by opening a new base in the United States, strategically positioned to serve the diverse needs of researchers worldwide.
Combining microelectronics and biology has resulted in remarkable enhancements in statistical significance and success rates, optimizing kinetic assays, and screening experiments. We are optimistic that these technological advancements will propel research on neurons and other electrogenic cells, accelerating the development of medical treatments, and positively impacting the lives of many.
Experience that matters
20 years of progress
We believe in continuous development. Therefore, we allocate substantial resources to crafting microchips that help answer researchers' evolving scientific questions.
Through ongoing advancements, our microchips have achieved significant data handling capabilities. They can now process vast amounts of information from thousands of electrodes simultaneously, enabling us to scale our technology further. This innovation provides exceptionally precise results, while also enabling real-time visualization of sample activity. Additionally, we tailor our chips with specific features to facilitate the study of diverse biological models.
Designed in Switzerland, our products deliver to the highest standards.
