JPK Instruments Wins Prism Award for Photonics Innovation

JPK Instruments, a leading manufacturer of nanoanalytic instrumentation for research in life sciences and soft matter, has won the international Prism Award for Photonics Innovation in the USA. The Berlin-based company managed to beat its direct competitors following a review and ranking of more than 135 products and applications by a panel of international judges.


In 2007 and 2008, JPK Instruments AG was  recognized by Deloitte as the fastest growing nanotechnology company in Germany. The NanoTracker™ was voted the world’s most innovative product in ‘Life Sciences’, one of nine categories of the competition. Company CEO Frank Pelzer said: “We are pleased that our many years of research are not only appreciated by our customers but have now also found favour with a panel of international experts. Our special thanks go to our employees, without whom this technological achievement would not have been possible.”

The NanoTracker™ operates with laser tweezers and can trap, track and detect nanoparticles solely with light. This allows researchers, for example, to examine at the nanoscale level how viruses and bacteria enter a cell. On this basis, researchers can develop drugs that prevent alien elements from entering cells or promote drug delivery into cells.
