Situated at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, Bionomous is a start-up developing and commercializing devices to automate processes in biology and biotechnology.
We combine innovative micro-engineering design and machine learning methods to develop devices that automatically screen, count, sort and dispense miniature biological entities.
Our technology is specialized in sorting zebrafish (Danio rerio) eggs. The EggSorter has been designed to offer a portable and easy to use solution for laboratories working intensively with zebrafish embryos or other similar model organisms.
Different classification algorithms are embedded in the device to recognize different configurations of zebrafish eggs, such as morphology features or the presence of biomarkers. Once processed, all the samples can be dispensed into Falcon tubes, Petri dishes and 96-Multiwell plates.
Our aim is to bring automation to the laboratories to accelerate research in fields such as genetics, toxicology, development, behavioral biology, and non-clinical studies.

AstellBio systems range in size, with smaller systems capable of handling numerous tank racks, while larger systems can manage a whole building’s wastewater.
ClearH2O, well-known by the research laboratory animal community as leaders in product innovation for hydration, nutrition, and medication delivery gel supplements and diets for terrestrial lab animals, has applied their proprietary technology to developing the first aquatic gel diet specifically formulated for zebrafish, AquaFeed®Z.
AquaFeed®Z represents the introduction of ClearH2O’s gel delivery platform incorporating a diet formula based on the most up-to-date knowledge of the specific nutritional requirements for zebrafish integrated into a sustained delivery gel cube. The physical properties of the AquaFeed®Z gel cube elicits a more natural grazing behavior in contrast to the frantic, binge feeding associated with dry flake or pelleted diets. AquaFeed®Z improves fish health and welfare by supporting uniform feeding by all fish, reducing competition and stress.
