From Sales to Manufacturer – The Founding Story of Octopus Instruments GmbH

Born from the extensive experience of Anasysta e.K., led by Axel Wilde, Octopus Instruments GmbH was established. With over 20 years of expertise in the sales of particle analysis systems, Axel Wilde has always focused on technical innovations and customer-oriented developments. The creation of our own product line now allows us to combine and implement ideas and progress.

Over the years, Anasysta e.K. has worked with the following measurement techniques:

$

Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)

$

Light Obscuration (LO)

$

Flow Imaging Microscopy

$

Imaging for Foam Assessment

$

Ultrasonic Spectroscopy

$

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Relaxation

$

Microfluidic Resistive Pulse Sensing (MRPS)

$

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)

High Resolution Flow Imaging System HiRes FIM

Axel Wilde saw great potential in the field of flow imaging microscopy and set out to expand the applications of this technology across Europe. After an initial start in the DACH region, the sales territory was quickly expanded to cover all of continental Europe.

With the founding of Octopus Instruments GmbH, Axel Wilde and his team decided to realize a long-held dream – the development of their own analysis system. Inspired by years of collaboration with our customers, we have created an innovative, modular flow imaging microscopy system that sets new standards with intelligent software and high flexibility.

At Octopus Instruments GmbH, top-notch equipment, ease of use, flexibility, and sustainability are paramount – all at a fair price. Trust in our experience and innovation for your measurement systems!
