Established in 1998 by a team of university scientists
Seven scientists with many years of experience in developing, constructing, and applying microsensors founded Unisense.
Three international patents from day one
From 1993-1998, seven scientists from the Department of Biology at the University of Aarhus in Denmark received approximately 1.5 million Euro for research and technological development, primarily from the 4th European Frame Program of the European Commission.
During this period, the scientists developed a series of innovative sensors and measuring principles. Three were subsequently patented internationally. In keeping with the aim of The European Commission to market the new developments, Unisense was founded in 1998.
Serving scientists worldwide
The company continues to grow with focus on production of sensors and measuring equipment as well as specialized development of measuring principles for a wide range of applications.
Today, Unisense A/S is operated professionally as an ISO9001:2015 certified company.
Spinoffs so far
Interacting with some of the world’s leading scientists has led to spinoffs of new subsidiary companies:
- Unisense Environment was founded in 2013 and is fully owned by Unisense. This clean-tech company develops measuring equipment and knowhow for optimizing wastewater treatment while minimizing carbon footprint: www.unisense-environment.com
- SulfiLogger was founded in 2020 for the development and sale of SulfiLogger ™ sensors. Sulfilogger demerged in 2023 and operates independently from Unisense with the production and sale of H2S sensors: www.sulfilogger.com
- Unisense FertiliTech was founded in 2003. Some years later, the company brought the medical device EmbryoScope® to the market. The company was sold to Vitrolife in 2014.
