AUTOMATE SCIENTIFIC, INC

Automate Scientific, Inc. specializes in the design, manufacturing, and support of precision laboratory instrumentation for biomedical and scientific research applications. The company focuses on analytical laboratory equipment including patch clamp amplifiers, molecular device digitizers, glass microelectrode pullers, and related subsystems used in electrophysiology and cellular neuroscience. Their technical expertise lies in high-precision instrumentation for low-current signal acquisition, microfabrication of glass capillaries, and integration of feedback systems for stable neuronal recording. A key differentiator is their ability to deliver mission-critical replacement parts and customized configurations for sensitive research environments, ensuring continuity in long-term experimental workflows. They demonstrate deep domain knowledge in NIH-funded neuroscience and physiology research ecosystems, with a proven capacity to meet stringent technical specifications for academic and federal laboratories. The company maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Health and Human Services, primarily supporting NIH institutes and other HHS entities engaged in fundamental biological research. Their work for HHS centers on equipping electrophysiology and molecular biology labs with validated, research-grade instrumentation. They also have a documented history of supporting the Department of Defense and the Department of Agriculture, delivering specialized microfabrication tools for defense-related biosensing and agricultural research applications. Automate Scientific operates primarily under NAICS 334516, which encompasses the manufacturing of analytical laboratory instruments, with secondary activity in optical instrument manufacturing under 333314. Their market positioning is as a niche supplier of high-reliability, low-volume scientific equipment for specialized research applications, particularly in neurophysiology and single-cell analysis. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Berkeley, California, Automate Scientific maintains a focused geographic footprint with deep integration into the West Coast biomedical research community. The company holds no formal government certifications but leverages technical credibility and proven performance to secure contracts in high-regulation federal research environments.
