About Alite

Founded in 2005, Alite (also known as Alite Life Sciences or 艾力特国际贸易有限公司) has established itself as a key supplier of laboratory instruments and equipment within China's life science and biotechnology sectors. The company is headquartered in Shanghai, where its R&D center is also located, and has expanded its presence with offices in Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Europe.

Alite's business model centers on a dual approach: it develops its own proprietary products, such as the CountStar cell analyzer, while also acting as a Chinese partner for numerous European and American biological equipment suppliers. This strategy allows the company to offer a comprehensive range of products, from laboratory instruments and testing reagents to production equipment, catering to the entire lifecycle from research and development to full-scale production. Revenue is generated through the sale of these products and the provision of related technical services.

The company serves a diverse client base, primarily consisting of leading biopharmaceutical, cell therapy, and biotechnology companies in China. It also supplies equipment to a large number of basic life sciences research institutions and government laboratories. Alite provides solutions for various applications, including CAR-T, stem cell therapy, vaccines, and antibodies. The firm has obtained multiple invention patents in China, the United States, and Japan.

As a distributor, Alite offers an extensive portfolio of products from international partners. This includes stability test chambers and incubators from Germany's MMM Group, online live cell analyzers from the UK's ABER, and cell growth factors and ELISA kits from the US-based Repligen, among others. In addition to equipment sales, Alite provides professional space sterilization services for clients who require sterilization for facilities ranging from small labs to large buildings but may not own the necessary equipment.
