Engineer Bertold Suhner in Herisau, Switzerland, where it is headquartered to this day, founded the company in 1943.Metrohm DropSens is a leading company in designing, developing and manufacturing of spectroelectrochemical instruments, combining electrochemistry with UV-VIS, NIR or RAMAN spectroscopy. In addition, Metrohm DropSens offer electrogenerated luminescence based instruments.Metrohm DropSens develops and manufactures screen-printed electrodes, based on thick-film hybrid technology, with the aim of providing researchers with a powerful tool for the development of electrochemical sensors of diverse nature: chemical, enzyme, immune and genosensors. Screen-printed electrodes offer a number of advantages versus conventional electrodes: they are suitable for working with microvolumes and for decentralized assays (point of care tests). Additionally they avoid tedious polishing of solid electrodes.With the aim of miniaturising electrochemical instruments, Metrohm DropSens has focused in the design and manufacture of portable potentiostats, which offer the main electrochemical techniques while retaining the accuracy of bigger instruments and offering an easy-to-use computer interface.Metrohm DropSens keeps researching to incorporate the advantages of Nanotechnology to Electrochemistry and already supplies high quality Carbon Nanotubes and nanomaterials-modified sensors.
