PicoQuant

PicoQuant is a private German photonics and scientific instrumentation company that develops and manufactures pulsed diode lasers, photon counting and timing electronics, fluorescence spectrometers, fluorescence microscopes, and related software. Its products are used across life science research, including fluorescence lifetime imaging, single-molecule detection, bioanalytics, and microscopy upgrades, as well as in materials science, metrology, and quantum optics. The company positions itself as a global leader in time-resolved optical measurements and single-photon counting applications. PicoQuant sells commercial research tools rather than therapeutics, with an emphasis on robust, compact, and user-friendly systems for academic, industrial, and OEM customers. It also operates a North American sales branch and provides training, workshops, and technical support around its instrument platforms.
