Amuza Inc. is a San Diego-based neuroscience equipment distributor founded in 2012. The company supplies researchers in the Americas and Europe with behavioral equipment, HPLC-ECD systems, fiber photometry and optogenetics equipment, and mechanical cell stretching systems, autoclaves, centrifuges and others. Our team of scientifically trained staff works closely with researchers, from the grant application stage through final data collection, to make experiments run smoothly and to support valid, repeatable results. Above all, we want to help scientists improve the quality of human lives.
Amuza’s CRO service specializes in sensitive, quantitative neurotransmitter analysis, ideal for labs with limited capacity, time, or budget. We can analyze tissue, CSF, plasma, urine, and cell culture samples for catecholamines and their metabolites, glutamate, GABA and other amino acids, acetylcholine, and other analytes, with data turnaround in two weeks. After you contact us to define the scope of your project, we validate the method on a pooled sample and share the results before running your samples following our protocol. We then deliver the quantified results. The service works well for generating preliminary data for grant proposals or pilot studies, for testing the approach before purchasing your own system, and for helping existing HTEC users clear a sample backlog.
