MaxWell Biosystems

MaxWell Biosystems AG provides high-content electrophysiology platforms that advance scientific discovery and accelerate drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases. The company was founded in September 2016 as an ETH Zürich spin-off with its first product, MaxOne, a high-density microelectrode (HD-MEA) system used by academic and research laboratories to investigate the activity of cells in vitro at network, cellular, and subcellular levels. The launch of MaxTwo, a multi-well HD-MEA platform, increases the throughput of performing cell-based assays to 6- and 24-well plates catering to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, as well as contract research organizations. MaxWell Biosystems is a leading expert, both on the technology to develop hardware and software, as well as on the scientific applications of HD-MEAs.
