About BIOMETROLOGY, Inc.

BIOMETROLOGY had its start in April 1999 in the San Francisco Bay Area on the island city of Alameda. Biometrology founder, Dr. Michael J. Allen, had identified a need for an independent professional laboratory able to deliver expert contract research services featuring cutting-edge analytical techniques seamlessly and cost-effectively to the Biomedical and related industries. Biometrology's analytical services have included long-term early- and late-stage R&D regarding ground-breaking new vaccines and medical implants with major pharmaceutical and biomedical device companies as well laboratory analyses and scientific witnessing for major court cases.

In 2009, Biometrology relocated to Chicago enabling Dr. Allen to serve as Principal Investigator on separate NIH-funded studies regarding Lou Gehrig's disease at the University of Chicago. Following completion of these studies in 2015, Dr. Allen resumed his role as Principal Scientist at Biometrology's Chicago location.

Also in 2009 Biometrology was selected exclusive authorized distributor of cellZscope® cell monitoring systems to the Americas. CellZscope® products are designed, engineered, assembled and tested in Germany by nanoAnalytics GmbH. These are automated, impedance-based cell monitoring systems for extended in-situ analyses of any cell barrier model under physiological conditions. Biometrology offers a full line of cellZscope® products for any budget.

Michael J. Allen, Ph.D. is a nanobiologist with 30 years research experience in government, private industry and academia using scanning probe microscopy (SPM) as well as numerous other microscopic techniques. Dr. Allen has served on and led dozens of multidisciplinary research teams and projects, authored 40+ peer-reviewed research articles and 5 patents, provided 150+ seminars, lectures and training courses, and has served on numerous government review panels and academic committees.

Wood pulp under fluid AFM. BIOMETROLOGY provides AFM services that give true in situ analytical results of your product or sample. Most biological samples are extensively hydrated in the native state. Sample alterations or damage due to drying forces that occur during sample preparations used for other analytical techniques are not neccessary with the AFM analysis that BIOMETROLOGY provides.
