When off-the-shelf solutions fall short, research and development teams turn to Peira for custom projects. Peira combines mechatronic hardware and software expertise with in-house workshops to provide the missing assets you need.
“Peira” is an ancient Greek term meaning test, attempt, experience, assaying, or trial. Through its custom projects, Peira is central to innovative scientific laboratories, promoting innovation, reducing bias, increasing the reliability of experiments, and strengthening the robustness of your research.
Custom projects for unique requirements
Peira’s custom projects are entirely focused on the ideas, challenges, and needs of scientists and lab professionals. We leverage our expertise to develop technical solutions for a wide array of applications in drug development and validation.
Facilitate scientific innovation
Innovative studies frequently demand research platforms that surpass conventional lab equipment. We support these cutting-edge platforms from the early discovery stages through to in vivo testing, enabling scientists to study new domains.
Scientist: "I want to study the behaviour of drosophilae flies."
Peira: "OK, let's build FlyWorld, a fly auditorium for stimulation and behavior quantification".
Solving the researcher’s problem
As research evolves, new functionality is required from lab equipment. Peira addresses these needs by providing solutions ranging from simple tooling and retrofits to entirely new machines built from the ground up.
Researcher: "This shaker is too noisy. And can we add heating?"
Peira: "OK, let's build an isoation chamber against noise and vibration, and incorprate themperature conditioning".
Tailored Lab automation
Lab automation promotes high throughput, but there is no one solution that fits all. Peira designs and implements automation projects ranging from “filling in the missing link” to “installing the full chain”.
Lab operator: "I need a solution for in-lab powder application"
Peira: "OK, let's build a powder applicator with guaranteed troughput and yield".

Custom scientific tooling
Spotlight on EEG electrodes for neurosciences
EEG (electroencephalography) electrodes are small metal discs that measure and record the brain’s electrical activity. EEG is commonly used in clinical and research settings to diagnose and monitor conditions such as epilepsy and sleep disorders, and to study brain function.
Peira specializes in the prototype and series micro-assembly and integration of EEG electrodes and their connectivity. We have cleanroom facilities for this specialized work and can integrate these electrodes with various cabinets, swivel systems and signal processors.
Why Peira custom projects?
High customer appreciation rates
Our customers continue to rely on our engineers for custom developments. Additionally, most new projects are initiated through word of mouth.
A deep expertise
With a 16-year track record and as a spin-out from Johnson & Johnson’s Design & Engineering Services, Peira possesses deep expertise in mechatronic development for scientific laboratories.
In-house prototyping and workshop
New concepts can be swiftly validated using our in-house prototyping and workshop facilities, allowing for rapid modifications to ongoing projects.
We have a strong affinity for pharmaceutical development
Over the years, we have supported researchers focusing on segments such as neuroscience, toxicology, oncology, and pharmaceutical development, leveraging our expertise in in vivo studies, imaging, and nanotechnology.
