Exciting Instruments

Exciting Instruments, based in Sheffield, is a joint venture combining the software expertise of Bulldozer Limited and the single molecule proficiency of Dr. Timothy Craggs. The company specializes in single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy, offering an intuitive experimental profile builder and built-in calibration profiles to expedite scientific discoveries. Their cloud connectivity feature enhances collaboration within research groups by enabling seamless results sharing. Each experiment's full metadata is stored to support Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, ensuring robust forward analysis.

Exciting Instruments primarily serves research institutions and laboratories that require precise molecular analysis. Operating in the scientific research market, the company employs a business model centered around selling advanced spectroscopy systems and related software. Revenue is generated through the sale of these systems, as well as through ongoing software subscriptions and support services.

The company's core technology, the EI FLEX system, is a Class 1 laser product that can be used in standard labs without specific laser training. This system provides detailed insights into molecular interactions, surpassing traditional methods like ELISA by offering single molecule resolution. This capability is crucial for accurate drug, therapy, and ligand interaction studies.
