Locsense Information

Locsense was founded in 2016 in Enschede and is revolutionizing how we monitor, measure, and test cells right from the lab bench, offering a cruelty-free alternative to animal testing. Our flagship device, the Locsense Artemis, is a non-invasive sensor that monitors cell health, enabling groundbreaking discoveries in fields like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and the food industry. Locsense is at the forefront of lab technology with devices that non-invasively monitor and test cells outside the body. In our bodies, cells often form protective barriers. Think of these barriers as tiny walls that separate different areas. For example, the lining of your gut has cells that create a barrier between your food and the rest of your body, or the skin which forms a protective barrier for influences from outside. Impedance measurements offer a way to measure how strong these barriers are and whether they are intact. The Artemis offers insight into how healthy cell barriers are. This is crucial for drug testing, studying diseases, and making sure our body’s defenses work properly. Our products are designed to combine with conventional workflow. At the same time they can be coupled to innovative in-vitro cell culture platforms, such as microfluidic chips, organs-on-chip or smartplates.
