Serving a diverse range of needs across life and materials science, biopharma, applied research, microbiology, diagnostics, and nanotechnology, our solutions are built to meet the challenges of rapidly evolving scientific landscapes.

Customers rely on our broad portfolio of platforms - including magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, gas and liquid chromatography, X-ray, microscopy, metrology, molecular spectroscopy, automation, and software solutions - to advance discovery and deliver results.

We enable innovation and productivity in post-genomic life science, molecular and cell biology, and deliver differentiated, high-value systems for preclinical imaging, clinical phenomics, proteomics, multiomics, spatial and single-cell biology, condensate biology, clinical microbiology, and molecular diagnostics.

Headquartered in Billerica, Massachusetts, we support customers globally through technical and manufacturing centers in Europe and North America, and a worldwide network of sales and support teams.

We have four operating segments, Bruker BioSpin Group, Bruker CALID Group, Bruker Scientific Instruments (BSI) NANO Segment and Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST). We have three reportable segments, BSI Life Science, BSI NANO, and BEST.

The Bruker BioSpin Group designs, manufactures, and distributes advanced scientific instruments based on magnetic resonance and preclinical imaging technologies. These include our industry-leading NMR and EPR spectrometers, as well as imaging systems utilizing MRI, PET, SPECT, CT, Optical and MPI modalities. The Group also offers integrated software solutions and automation tools to support digital transformation across research and quality control environments.

Bruker BioSpin’s customers in academic, government, industrial, and pharmaceutical sectors rely on these technologies to gain detailed insights into molecular structure, dynamics, and interactions. Our solutions play a key role in structural biology, drug discovery, disease research, metabolomics, and advanced materials analysis. Recent investments in lab automation, optical imaging, and contract research services further strengthen our ability to support evolving customer needs and enable scientific innovation.

Our Bruker CALID Group comprises the Bruker Daltonics and Bruker Optics Divisions.

Bruker Daltonics primarily designs, manufactures, and distributes pioneering mass spectrometry (MS) instruments, such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF), ion trap mass spectrometry (ITMS), magnetic resonance mass spectrometry (MRMS) and liquid chromatography (LC)-MS. These technologies can be integrated into analytical workflows in existing and emerging life science, chemical, and applied markets.

Together with industry-leading MALDI-TOF technology, Bruker Daltonics provides its customers with molecular diagnostic solutions for microbiology and infectious disease diagnostics, helping microbiologists tackle the most challenging organisms in human and veterinary clinical diagnostic and food microbiology settings.

Bruker Optics manufactures and distributes research, analytical, and process analysis instruments and solutions based on infrared (IR) and Raman molecular spectroscopy technologies, including Fourier transform (FT-IR) and near infrared (NIR). These products are used by customers in industry, government, and academia for a wide range of applications and solutions for analysis, quality control, and process analysis applications.

Bruker Energy and Supercon Technologies (Bruker EST) is the world leader in the production of superconducting wires.

For more than 50 years, our high performance superconductors have met the needs of healthcare, academic and industrial organizations worldwide, helping drive new discoveries in the clinical and pharmaceutical sectors, including the breakthrough technology of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning, advanced materials science, and sustainable energies.
Our superconducting wires carry up to 100 times the current of conventional copper wires, enabling the advancement of technologies such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) whose performance requires exceptionally high stability and low energy consumption.

Our strong focus on research and development, supported by the long Bruker heritage in delivering innovative technologies, has strengthened our portfolio to support our customers in pushing the boundaries of technology, paving the way to new possibilities in advanced research applications.
