About YoungerUSA

Located in Massachusetts' historic "Five Colleges" region, YoungerUSA, LLC has brought Non-invasive Micro-test Technology to life-science laboratories since 2001. We are a leading innovator, manufacturer and distributor of NMT — and a technology partner of the alliances behind the open imOmics and GiP initiatives.

Who We Are

An international company for real live sciences

YoungerUSA, LLC manufactures, distributes and advances NMT worldwide. Our passion is helping scientists understand the language of living cells — by measuring the fluxes of ions and molecules in living samples. We are committed to applying NMT across all areas of science, from personalized chemotherapy for cancer treatment, to drug-efficacy evaluation, to biomonitoring of environmental hazards.

  • Conducting research — pushing NMT forward for 25 years, from NASA gravitational biology to AI-driven omics platforms.
  • Making NMT easier to use — modular, automated, intelligent systems with standardized SOPs.
  • Improving human life — applying NMT to medicine, agriculture and the environment.

From Massachusetts to Beijing and beyond — one technology, one community.

A new era, a new stage

As NMT enters the multi-omics age, the relationship between YoungerUSA and Xuyue (Beijing) Sci. & Tech. Co., Ltd. has entered a qualitatively new phase: two independent companies, founded by the same scientist, now working as equal strategic partners in a changing world — Xuyue serving the Chinese market, YoungerUSA serving international markets as manufacturer and technology partner. The open imOmics and GiP initiatives themselves are governed by the NMT alliances, not by either company.

  • YoungerUSA, LLC (est. 2001) — international brand, R&D origin, manufacturing and global distribution of NMT systems; technology partner of the NMT International Alliance.
  • Xuyue (Beijing), est. 2005 — R&D, production, services and sales for the Chinese market; technology partner of the Zhongguancun NMT Industrial Alliance.
  • Together — dozens of patents and software copyrights, alliance-certified products, ISO 9001 quality systems, and long-term support for the alliances' open initiatives.

Alliances & standardization

  • NMT International Alliance — South Deerfield, MA; initiator of the Bio-imOmics Project and GiP.
  • Zhongguancun NMT Industrial Alliance — Beijing; operates the testing-service network and product certification.
  • NMT International Standardization Committee (NISC) — community SOPs for salt stress, heavy metals, plant nutrition, calcium signaling and more.
  • Certification — alliance-certified systems and consumables; ISO 9001 quality system certification.
  • Note — the alliances above are independent scholarly organizations; YoungerUSA is a technology and commercialization partner, not their governing body.

Partners
