Field-flow fractionation instruments and software for particle characterization
Postnova Analytics manufactures and sells FFF (field-flow fractionation) instruments alongside characterization software built on .NET/C#. The stack is almost entirely Microsoft-dependent (Azure, 365, DevOps, WPF), and current hiring is weighted toward operations (4 roles) over engineering (2 roles), suggesting the company is scaling manufacturing capacity and support systems rather than accelerating product development. Active infrastructure projects center on IT security and system consolidation for a multi-entity holding structure.
Postnova Analytics is a German manufacturer of laboratory instruments specializing in field-flow fractionation and light-scattering technology for particle and macromolecule characterization. The company sells into academic, pharmaceutical, materials-science, and environmental-testing labs worldwide. Its instruments separate and analyze nanoparticles and microparticles by properties including size, molecular weight, charge, and density. Application areas span biopharmaceuticals, nanomedicine, advanced materials, nanomaterials, and environmental contamination analysis. Postnova operates from Landsberg, Bavaria with approximately 11–50 employees and maintains a small but steady hiring cadence focused on operations and manufacturing roles.
Postnova's software stack is built on .NET and C# using WPF for user interfaces, hosted on Microsoft Azure, with Azure DevOps for CI/CD and Microsoft 365 for workplace tools.
The company is managing technical infrastructure expansion due to growth, IT security evaluations for new hardware/software, and license and inventory management across its holding structure.
