Bialume develops advanced portable instruments that help researchers, engineers, and companies measure and understand electrical signals from sensors and systems in real time. Our technology can connect to existing sensors or be paired with custom sensors developed for specific applications, allowing a single handheld platform to perform many different types of measurements. From environmental monitoring and industrial systems to biomedical and research applications, Bialume’s instrumentation is designed to make complex electrical measurement and signal analysis more accessible, flexible, and deployable outside of traditional laboratory settings.

Affordable. Accessible. Accurate.

Electrical signals change in response to variations in cells, tissues, fluids, materials, and molecular interactions. When sensors, antibodies, aptamers, or other sensing elements interact with a target, the electrical behavior of the system shifts. Bialume captures and analyzes these changes in real time, enabling advanced measurement, characterization, and monitoring through a single handheld platform.

MBIA

Portable Multifrequency Instrument for Signal Design & Measurement

Product development and signal architecture overseen by Dr. Pedro Bertemes Filho, PhD (Medical Physics), Professor of Electrical Engineering and specialist in bioimpedance instrumentation.

 

Design, excite, and measure electrical systems across frequency and time domains using a single handheld platform.

MBIA is a portable, battery-powered instrument built for engineers and researchers who require full control over excitation signals, measurement conditions, and data extraction. The platform enables high-resolution characterization of electrical systems without being limited to predefined methods.

Most instruments run predefined methods. MBIA gives you control over the signal itself.

 

Core Instrument Capabilities

  • Frequency Range: 2 mHz – 2 MHz

  • Excitation: Fully programmable (sine, square, pulse, MLS, white noise, and custom waveforms)

  • Acquisition: Time-domain and frequency-domain

  • Data Output: Full voltage, current, and time-series capture

  • Modeling: On-device feature extraction and model generation

  • Measurement Configurations: 2, 3, and 4-electrode support

 

Signal-Driven Measurement Workflow

Signal → System → Response → Model → Deployment

  1. Configure excitation waveform (frequency, amplitude, timing)

  2. Excite system under controlled conditions

  3. Capture full electrical response across time and frequency domains

  4. Extract discriminative features and generate models

  5. Deploy optimized measurements on the same device

 

What Makes MBIA Different

  • Programmable signal design beyond predefined EIS or CV methods

  • Adaptive excitation targeting regions of interest

  • Time-domain system identification alongside frequency analysis

  • Discovery and monitoring on the same hardware

  • Model-driven measurement, not just data collection

 

Sensor Interface (Expandable Capability)

MBIA is a sensor-agnostic instrumentation platform designed to interface with external sensing elements.

Compatible sensor categories include:

  • Chemical sensors (gas, pH, electrochemical)

  • Biological sensors (aptamers, antibodies, biosensors)

  • Physical sensors (temperature, pressure, resistance)

  • Optical sensors (distance, light)

The platform supports integration of up to 127 sensors, enabling multi-parameter measurement on a single instrument.

 

Form Factor

  • Handheld and battery-powered

  • Wireless connectivity

  • Cassette-based sensor interface

  • Embedded storage and on-device processing

 

Applications

Environmental Monitoring • Biomedical Systems • Industrial Sensing • Defense • Research Instrumentation

 

Summary

MBIA is not a fixed-function measurement tool. It is a reconfigurable instrumentation platform that enables users to design signals, extract meaningful electrical features, and deploy optimized measurements—all on a single device.

MBIA is a portable, battery-powered instrument built for engineers and researchers who need full control over excitation signals, measurement conditions, and data extraction. It enables high-resolution characterization of electrical systems without being limited to predefined methods.

Most instruments run predefined methods. MBIA gives you control over the signal itself.
