This is cphnano

Copenhagen Nanosystems ApS (cphnano) was founded in December 2015 by a team of engineers from the Technical University of Denmark. The core technology consisting of the optical photonic crystal filter technology and software models is a result of 10 years of research and development, which has since been commercialized.

What we do

Experts in UV-Vis delivering easy end-to-end solutions for your lab-work.

We work with upgrading UV-Vis spectrophotometry across all brands to be at the forefront for the Smart Lab of the Future and Industry 4.0. We bring optical modelling to the cloud to increase flexibility and convenience of managing chemical and biological analysis through IoT connectivity and ground-breaking nanotechnology for life science applications.


Our products only require a conventional UV-Vis spectrophotometer, which makes it incredibly easy for users to enjoy an integrated and seamless digital
lab-experience.
