Neurophotometrics

Neurophotometrics is a scientist-run neuroscience tools company focused on fiber photometry instrumentation for academic and industrial research. The company developed plug-and-play optical systems for recording calcium and neurotransmitter indicator signals in freely moving animals across multiple brain regions, with products such as the FP3001 and second-generation FP3002. The FP3002 adds integrated optogenetic stimulation, dual-color imaging capability, and multi-region recording, positioning the company as a specialized provider of neurotechnology hardware rather than a therapeutic drug developer. In October 2023, Neurophotometrics was acquired by MBF Bioscience and now operates as part of the MBF Bioscience family, with the San Diego site identified as the Neurophotometrics division. Its business appears centered on commercial research instruments, accessories, software-enabled workflows, and collaboration with academic and industry neuroscience labs.
