About Instromeda

We are a team of engineers and product people building self-driving analytical instruments. Founded in Oxford, England, with operations in Hamburg and San Francisco.

Instromeda founders working on SPRneo prototype in the Oxford lab

Oxford, 2024. Building the first SPRneo prototypes.

The machines themselves are the last barrier to the Lab 4.0 revolution.

We are on a mission to change the way lab instrumentation is designed and built, making key data types accessible to more users than ever — humans, systems, and machines alike.

As more labs embrace automation to speed the discovery and development of novel therapeutics, devices themselves struggle to keep up. Schedulers, orchestrators, and agents are transformative — but too many instruments still require skilled human operators and were never designed to work with these innovations.

We have rethought how devices should be built to work with the coming wave of computational and automation technologies, while making them more affordable and easier to use.
