Company
Context
Myriade is a French company created in 2017 that develops an innovative nanoscale imaging technology.
Based on the works of the Langevin Institute, a French academic laboratory specialized in optical and ultrasonic technologies for life sciences, the technology Videodrop relies on a single-arm interferometric technique. It makes it possible to visualize without labeling living nanoparticles such as viruses, phages, or extracellular vesicles.

The process was developed by Professor Claude Boccara at the request of the Professor Martine Boccara, specialist in virology, who was looking for a quick method to list viruses present in seawater samples collected during the Tara Oceans expedition in 2013.
Development in 2025

In 2025, Videodrop is recognized for providing fast, accurate, and reproducible nanoparticle size and concentration measurement, supporting applications in lentiviral vector and bioproduction, extracellular vesicle research, and lipid nanoparticle formulation.
The company actively collaborates with scientific and biotech communities to drive innovations in nanoparticle analysis and clinical translation.
Myriade continues expanding its global presence with growing adoption of Videodrop technology by life sciences researchers worldwide.
