HNu Photonics

HNu Photonics is a private Hawai'i-based science and technology company that develops photonics, optics, instrumentation, and advanced manufacturing solutions across biotech, defense, energy, and imaging markets. In life sciences, the company focuses on automated programmable microfluidic systems, live-cell imaging, cell culture platforms, diagnostics instrumentation, and related tools for drug discovery and personalized medicine research. Its best-described biotech platform is the Scorpio-V Bio-Chip Space-Lab, which enables automated long-term live-cell culture experiments with microscopy in microgravity on the International Space Station. HNu also appears to commercialize engineering and prototyping services, including CNC machining, optical fabrication, thin-film deposition, electronics development, and small production runs. The company is not a therapeutics developer; it is better characterized as a tools, platform, and instrumentation provider with healthcare-relevant applications.
