About Us
We design and build specialist research equipment — best known for our circadian cabinets — collaborating directly with universities and researchers to deliver solutions tailored to the demands of their science.
Built Around the Needs of Circadian Researchers
Phenome Technologies grew out of a simple observation: researchers studying circadian rhythms needed equipment that gave them genuine control over the light environment, not just a timer on a bulb. Our circadian cabinets were built to answer that need, providing programmable full-spectrum lighting with minute-level precision, while continuously recording light levels, humidity, and temperature to keep experimental disruption to an absolute minimum.
Over time, our collaborative relationships with universities and research groups have taken us further. Whether modifying existing cabinets for specific studies or engineering entirely new tools, we prioritize custom solutions. A key result of this collaboration is our automated feeder system, which provides researchers with precise, continuous data on feeding activity in individually housed mice, eliminating the variability and disruption inherent in manual feeding.
Every project we take on starts with a conversation about the science. That commitment to understanding the research drives everything we make.
Our Values
Built for Research Rigor
Research need first, engineering second. We don't build anything until we understand the science it needs to serve.
Genuine Collaboration
We collaborate directly with universities and research groups, modifying existing equipment or building new tools to match their precise experimental requirements.
Minimal Disruption
Our cabinets are designed to disturb subjects as little as possible, with automated logging replacing manual checks that would otherwise break circadian conditions.
Reliable Data
Continuous, timestamped recordings of light, humidity, and temperature give researchers a complete environmental record alongside their biological data.
