biocrates life sciences ag becomes part of Bruker Group

Bruker

This collaboration aims to expand metabolite and lipid analysis through the power of mass spectrometry

4 Jun 2025

Industry news

Bruker Corporation has announced the full acquisition of biocrates life sciences ag. biocrates, located in Innsbruck, Austria is the global leader in mass spectrometry-based quantitative metabolite and lipid analysis, offering kits, software, and services that make standardized metabolomics accessible.

biocrates life sciences ag has been consistently backed by MIG and ARAX Funds in developing its core technologies that are now used by hundreds of laboratories worldwide. biocrates has grown into a category leader in the science of metabolomics, enabling researchers to measure more than 1,800 biomarkers from a single drop of blood.

Dr. Sebastian Gottfried, CMO of biocrates, commented, “Their support, insight, and belief in our mission were instrumental in getting us to this point. We’re excited about what lies ahead with Bruker, and we thank MIG and ARAX Funds and their respective investors for their role in helping us reach this milestone.”

“Joining Bruker is a major milestone and a strong validation of our team’s hard work and vision”, added Moritz Seuster, CEO of biocrates. “What makes this partnership so powerful is our shared passion for multiomics and biocrates’ continued commitment to supporting and innovating across multiple MS technologies and vendors. With Bruker, we’re poised to scale our impact while staying true to our mission to make omics quantitative, reproducible, and easily accessible. We’re deeply thankful to our employees, customers, and partners who made this possible.”

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Protein QuantificationThe detection and quantification of proteins in a sample is vital across life sciences, pharmaceutical research and clinical diagnostics, and a variety of equipment is available to scientists to simplify the workflow. Proteins of interest can be easily labeled and detected on light-based detection instruments. Immunoassay kits allow you to identify a specific protein of interest and protein detection beads or antibody microarrays allow you to identify multiple specific proteins at once. Protein interactions and enzyme activity can also be monitored with protein-protein interaction assays. Additionally, the biophysical characterization of proteins is made easy with biokinetic analyzers.
