Why researchers choose Plasmetrix
Performance where it matters, simplicity everywhere else — designed for real lab and field conditions.
Portable & modular
Field-friendly dimensions without sacrificing optical performance. CNC-machined enclosures stay rock-solid on any bench.
56.5 × 77 × 31 mmLow operating cost
Standard thin-gold chips, serviceable fluidics, and USB-C power. No proprietary consumables, minimal maintenance.
Standard gold chipsFlexible workflows
Reconfigure between flow-cell, open cuvette, and petri-dish modes in seconds. One instrument, any experiment.
3 configurationsPrecision analytics
Sub-nanometer LSPR peak tracking and ~10⁻⁶ RIU SPR resolution, backed by integrated temperature compensation for drift-free reads.
~10⁻⁶ RIUProduct lines
Three families of plasmonic instruments, engineered for different sensing modalities and application scales.
CORGI SPR
SPRCompact research-grade surface plasmon resonance. Single-channel (CORGI Cubic) and dual-channel (CORGI IIF) with integrated temperature compensation.
SPECTRUNA LSPR
LSPRImaging spectrophotometry optimized for plasmonic nanoparticle characterization. LED source variant with dual-channel differential detection.
SPR Imaging
ImagingSpatially-resolved SPR for multiplexed sensing and cellular analysis. Map binding across a sensor surface in real time on a microscopy-compatible platform.
Designed for diverse research
From drug discovery to environmental monitoring, our platforms support a broad range of plasmonic sensing work.

Point-of-Care
Portable diagnostics development
Simple by design
From unboxing to first data in under an hour. No optical alignment, no specialized training.
Connect
One USB-C cable for power and data. Plug into any laptop — no external supply.
Install chip
Drop in a standard gold-film slide with coupling oil. No alignment, no calibration tools.
Configure
Pick your fluidic mode — flow-cell, open cuvette, or petri dish. Switch in seconds.
Measure
Launch, run, export directly to TraceDrawer for kinetic analysis.
Trusted by researchers worldwide
Plasmetrix instruments are used by teams across North America, Europe, and Asia for biosensing, nanoparticle characterization, and point-of-care device development.
The name behind the instrument
From beloved companion to instrument identity
The CORGI instrument family takes its name — and its logo — from a very real Corgi dog. The breed's compact stature, outsized personality, and unwavering reliability mirrored exactly what the Plasmetrix team wanted their instruments to be: small, powerful, and dependable.
