At ScientiaLux (sea-EN-shuh-lux / si’ɛnʃəlʊks), our mission is to equip researchers with integrated systems that simplify data acquisition, improve efficiency, and focus on discovery without technical roadblocks. This is inclusive of imaging, monitoring, and data acquisition as well as analysis software and data management/computational tools.
Founded by Russell Ulbrich, ScientiaLux collaborates with teams of innovators worldwide and connects clients working at the intersection of imaging, analysis, IT, and education to instruments that advance their goals.
ScientiaLux provides knowledgeable service and a broad portfolio spanning advanced microscopy, metabolic monitoring, single-cell isolation, tissue analysis, optical filters, analysis software, and more. With this range, scientists gain a single partner who understands the links across technologies.
Rather than simply offering individual products, ScientiaLux identifies and communicates the intersections between different technologies. For example, a researcher using Cytena’s single-cell isolation might benefit from TissueGnostics’ analysis capabilities or the MIKAIA image analysis software. This holistic approach helps scientists discover complementary tools they might not have considered.
ScientiaLux maintains a refreshingly transparent approach, acknowledging that “we’re all still learning but we don’t give up.” This creates a collaborative relationship where clients can trust they’re getting truly honest assessments.
The team at ScientiaLux is committed to deep product knowledge across all their partner technologies. They invest in understanding the technical nuances and applications, enabling them to provide meaningful support and guidance to researchers.
ScientiaLux is a knowledgeable partner helping scientists navigate and leverage complex technical ecosystems.

After decades in microscopy, Russell Ulbrich built ScientiaLux on a radical premise; the best science happens when technologies and the people behind them work in genuine partnership.
Based in the greater Boston area, Russell is a human-centered technologist who moves easily between fluorochromes, mitochondria, and teamwork. His curiosity and enthusiasm drive an approach that builds genuine trust, which is why clients who first worked with him in 2008 still reach out for advice and ideas long after their equipment was delivered. His near 30 years of experience brings creativity and insight to problem solving, asking questions that open new ways of thinking.
He is also a partnership architect who sees science advance most when people and technology grow together. Whether he is coordinating complex equipment transfers or helping colleagues connect at conferences, Russell invests in relationships that strengthen the work. He tackles challenges collaboratively and helps create the smooth workflows where technology fades into the background and discovery takes the lead.
