Amuza Inc. is a distributor and manufacturer of life science research equipment in North America. Based in San Diego, California, Amuza began in December 2012 by CEO and founder Shinji Azuma. Amuza is best known for its founding product the Eicom HTEC-500, an HPLC-ECD (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Electrochemical Detection) unit for the detection and quantification of neurotransmitters.
Amuza develops and distributes products for brain science research including: equipment for behavioral neuroscience research, measuring and quantifying neurotransmitters in vivo, microdialysis, wireless optogenetics, wireless fiber photometry, wireless EEG/EMG and HPLC columns.
Amuza also distributes autoclaves.[1] and centrifuges for research laboratories, cell-stretching and refrigeration devices for cryopreservation, as well as 3D tissue engineering technology[2].
History[edit]
Amuza was founded in December 2012.
In 2016, Amuza became the sole distributor of Strex Cell Biology products for cell stretching and cell refrigeration.
In 2017, Amuza was awarded an R41 Technology Transfer grant by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and National Institutes of Health[3] to develop “a unified system of wireless optogenetics and brain microdialysis”.
In 2017, Amuza added TOMY autoclaves and centrifuges to their offering.
In 2018, the company changed its name from Eicom USA to Amuza Inc, reflecting the additional brands it distributed.[4]
Amuza was featured in Inc. Magazine in 2018 and 2019[5] as one of the fastest growing private companies in America.
Research[edit]
Amuza offers laboratory equipment and supplies as part of the Federal Contract Awards and Federal Grants for neuroscience researchers[6]
CEO Shinji Azuma studied the effects of sleep disruptions[7] and microdialysis[8][9] before founding Amuza Inc.
Amuza's behavioral neuroscience research equipment has been used to correlate animal behavior with neuronal activity[10], study dopamine release relative to drinking behaviour[11], and further understand animal's voluntary limb movements while performing tasks.[12]
High performance liquid chromatography applications using Amuza's HTEC HPLC-ECD include acetylcholine analysis[13][14], dopamine [15] and serotonin analysis[16][17], along with glutamate and GABA analysis.[18]
