Picoquant GmbH

PicoQuant GmbH was founded in 1996 to develop robust, compact and easy-to-use time-resolved electro-optical instrumentation and systems. Today PicoQuant GmbH is known as a company which is leading in the field of picosecond diode lasers and time-resolved fluorescence systems.

Our instruments are used all over the world. They help to prepare papers in Nature and Science as well as being used for routine quality control and production processes of global industrial players. Starting from traditional time-resolved fluorescence detection in bioanalytics the range of applications is continuously increasing and includes semiconductor quality control, optical mammography, fibre-based temperature sensing, optical detector testing and telecommunications. Due to our easy-to-use products researchers now can focus on their problems in biology, medicine, environmental science or chemistry without needing a large background in physics, electronics or optics. PicoQuant is located on the WISTA campus Berlin-Adlershof.

Our intention is to offer state-of-the-art technology, which has been co-developed and tested by renowned researchers, at a price affordable to scientific groups and cost sensitive industry. Following this philosophy, we are always looking for new challenges. PicoQuant especially encourages OEM inquiries for its products, notably for applications where time-resolved techniques were considered too expensive and cumbersome in the past.

PicoQuant's innovative and dynamic team of physicists, designers, electronic and mechanical engineers offers you a range of picosecond diode lasers, modules for Time Correlated Single Photon Counting as well as complete and automatic measurement systems. The experience of 10 years R/D work, several hundred units sold and cooperation with experts for special applications provide a stable basis for new outstanding developments, always driven by our customers. We invite you to explore our Web site or contact our specialists directly to discuss your specific problems. Of course you are always welcome to stop by at our application labs during your travel to Germany. We can guarantee a quick and qualified investigation of your problems and would be happy to offer a solution helping you in your future work.
