Precision, Innovation, and
Transformation

MIS at its core

Starting out in 2012 as a startup from the prestigious ETH Zurich, we have come a long way. While we began with expertise in antimicrobial treatments, we have since evolved into a boutique CRO (Contract Research Organization) and a test lab which offers comprehensive solutions in bacteriology, virology and entomology. As we continue to expand, we remain true to our Swiss origins and maintain a relentless focus on innovation, high quality, precision, confidentiality, and reliability.

Our Journey : A timeline of Innovation and Impact

2012: A Bold Beginning

In the heart of Zurich, a team of visionary researchers from the Institute of Food, Nutrition, and Health at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETH Zürich) founded Microbe Investigations AG. Driven by a shared passion to combat the pervasive threats of microbial contamination, we embarked on a journey to redefine the landscape of antimicrobial testing.

2014: Expanding Horizons

In the heart of Zurich, a team of visionary researchers from the Institute of Food, Nutrition, and Health at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETH Zürich) founded Microbe Investigations AG. Driven by a shared passion to combat the pervasive threats of microbial contamination, we embarked on a journey to redefine the landscape of antimicrobial testing.

2019: Bridging Continents

Our commitment to addressing global health challenges took a major leap forward as we extended our services to China. This move symbolized our belief in the power of collaboration and innovation, transcending borders to make a difference on a larger scale.

2020: Rising to the Challenge

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for robust antimicrobial solutions. In response, we expanded our reach further with the opening of new facilities in Portugal.

2020: A New Chapter in India

Building on our recent successes, we continued our expansion into India, a key player in the global health arena. This new facility enabled us to address the unique challenges faced in the region, further solidifying our commitment to worldwide safety and innovation.

2022: A Milestone in the USA

In 2022, We established an office in the US. Our US location collects samples from our US clients and ships samples to our global labs. We plan to expand this hub and spoke model by establishing collection centers across the world. This significant milestone reflects our growth and our ongoing mission to bring our pioneering solutions to an even broader audience.
