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 the international home of the NMT · imOmics · GiP platform.

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 to Zurich — one technology, one community.

A new era, a new stage

As NMT, imOmics and GiP advance internationally together, 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 as the international platform for the technology, the science and the global initiative.

  • YoungerUSA, LLC (est. 2001) — international brand, R&D origin, manufacturing and global distribution of NMT systems; home of the NMT International Alliance.
  • Xuyue (Beijing), est. 2005 — R&D, production, services and sales for the Chinese market; home of the Zhongguancun NMT Industrial Alliance.
  • Together — dozens of patents and software copyrights, alliance-certified products, ISO 9001 quality systems, and the shared NMT · imOmics · GiP roadmap.
