Intas Science Imaging Instruments GmbH

Intas Science Imaging Instruments GmbH is Europe's number 1 direct seller of imaging systems.

The family business was founded under the name Intas 1975 in Göttingen. In the following years, the company soon became one of imaging specialists.

Over the years, Intas has developed and manufactured a variety of high-quality imaging products. The product portfolio includes specially developed gel documentation, chemiluminescence and lighting systems, microscopy and Slide Scanner for laboratory and diagnostics.

1975 Foundation of the family company Intas Ltd.
The idea is to provide the market with one-clinical, small and large equipment, was implemented.
1984 Development of laboratory diagnostic imaging systems
The world's first Geldokumentationsanlage of Intas was conceived and brought to series maturity.
1985 Start of series production of Geldokumentationsanlage
Together with partners in Heidelberg and Munich, the first plants were produced in series. To document these new analog technology, DNA and RNA material was introduced into the market.
1986 Start of development of a protein-imager
Proteins begin to glow with the help of a chemical substrate, can be documented with a specially designed low-light imaging camera.
1987 Start of series production of the first chemiluminescence
Intas has made history with this system and raised as one of the first companies in Germany this technology to series production.
1989 Intas GmbH and Polaroid became partners
The two sides signed a Distributionsagreement, which provided that Polaroid sold exclusively in Europe the systems produced by Intas.
1996 Repeal of the distribution agreement between Intas GmbH and Polaroid
Intas began direct sales to build.
2004 Acquisition of the Company of the 2nd generation
The company was in a personal and structural transformation. In this context, the successor to the company owner was family controlled internally. Uz-Christian Riemenschneider was legal in April 2004 Managing and sole shareholder.
Furthermore, the name of the company was provided with an additional and now operate under the name Intas Science Imaging Instruments GmbH.
2005 30th anniversary
2008 Construction of a global distribution network
The distribution network is established and constantly developed. Together with its partners in Iran, the first Geldokumentationsanlagen outside of Europe are sold directly by Intas. Will be followed by the countries of China, Poland, England and Turkey.
2009 Development of a pure stand-alone gel documentation system
Biotechnica fair GelSTICK standalone imager was completed and presented.
2010 revision of the shareholder's name
Due to the marriage, the sole shareholder name changed to the family name Feyerabend.
2011 Development of a pure yet compact stand-alone gel documentation system
At this year's fair Biotechnica the public is presented our new standalone system.
2012 Official fair presentation of the first camera-based 2D multiplex fluorescence imager. We presented at this year's fair Analytica our latest highlight for a comfortable and time-saving 2D/Multiplex fluorescence imaging.

Incredibly, our 2D multiplex fluorescence imager beats thanks to its patented lighting unit, the helmsmen competitors products "LiCor - Odyssey" and "GE - Typhoon" in terms of price, image quality, scan time and data accuracy.
2013 in time for the start to the year, we present the same 3 new product innovations in the field of microscopy. Assure yourself of the performance of the revolutionary "super-resolution microscope", "Confocal microscope endoscopy" and a completely new "high-content screening" system.
