Sutter Instrument

Sutter Instrument is a private U.S. manufacturer of precision instruments and software used in biomedical research, particularly in patch clamp electrophysiology, micropipette fabrication, microinjection, micromanipulation, imaging, and microscopy. Founded in 1974 and incorporated in 1977, the company designs and manufactures its products in Novato, California. Its portfolio includes micropipette pullers, patch clamp amplifier systems, micromanipulators, optical and imaging components, microscopes, and microinjection systems, along with related software such as SutterPatch. Sutter primarily serves academic, government, and industrial research laboratories rather than developing therapeutics. The company appears to operate as an active private life science tools business with global distribution and support.
