About us

 

Next-generation UV-Vis spectroscopy

 

We make particle analysis accessible with our patented spectroscopy solutions.

 

What we do

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

Copenhagen Nanosystems A/S (cphnano.com) was founded in December 2015 by a team of engineers as a spin-out from the Technical University of Denmark. The core technology consisting of the optical photonic crystal filter technology and software is a result of 10 years of research and development, which has since been commercialized in +20 markets.

Today 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 particle analysis 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.
