PhaseLab Instrument

About us

Photonics specialists,
instrument makers

We build the instruments we wished we had as researchers — precise, open, and within reach of any lab.

Our story

Born in the lab

PhaseLab Instrument was co-founded in August 2018 by a team of French and Taiwanese researchers from the University of Technology of Troyes (UTT) and National Taiwan University. The founding team combined deep expertise in nano-optics, plasmonics, and bio-engineering to bring phase-sensitive SPR out of specialist facilities and into everyday research labs.

The core technology — a proprietary phase modulation technique — is the result of years of academic research, protected by three patents. It is the foundation of every Ipso-LAB instrument we build.

Our mission has always been straightforward: make precision SPR accessible to every research lab.
