envibee

envibee is a Swiss company based in Zürich that combines competence in programming, natural sciences and data mining. It develops and maintains customized computational workflow applications and offers related service and support. According to its own company website, envibee operates in three major areas: workflows and software, non-target screening and data analysis, and trainings and workshops. The company is a GmbH (limited liability company) registered in Zürich, Switzerland, and is run by Dr. Martin Loos. Its stated background spans natural sciences — biogeochemistry, analytical chemistry, hydrology and geosciences — alongside applied computer programming and data mining. This combination positions envibee at the intersection of environmental chemistry and scientific software engineering. envibee's core offering is computational workflow solutions for scientific data analysis and data mining, tailored to the specific needs of customers such as laboratories or research facilities, together with maintenance and user support. The company describes the challenge of scientific data analysis as one of mining large data sets for relevant information or interesting trends, then prioritizing, summarizing and visualizing results. It notes that developing and using such tools is rarely straightforward: workflows must be customized, streamlined and tested, and must remain flexible enough to be updated with new data, new parameters or optional analysis steps while maintaining calculation speed, stability and reproducibility. Many users of scientific workflows, envibee observes, are not trained in computer coding to develop reliable workflow solutions themselves, to convert them into distributable packages, or to maintain and document them — a gap the company aims to fill. Beyond software, envibee provides non-target screening and data analysis services and conducts trainings and workshops. Its founder's research profile includes work on high-resolution mass spectrometry data, industrial emissions in European rivers, water-soluble synthetic polymeric substances in wastewater, pharmaceutical manufacturing emissions, and suspect screening of hydrocarbon surfactants in AFFF-contaminated groundwater, with publications in journals such as Water Research and Environmental Science and Technology. As a small, privately held Swiss limited liability company, envibee serves a specialist niche rather than a mass market. Its clients are primarily laboratories, research facilities and scientific organizations that need customized, maintainable computational workflows and expert data analysis. The company maintains a presence on GitHub and its staff profile is linked to ResearchGate, reflecting an active role in the scientific community.

envibee is a Swiss company located in Zürich that operates at the intersection of scientific computing and environmental chemistry. It is a GmbH (limited liability company) registered in Zürich, Switzerland, and is run by Dr. Martin Loos. The company's own website describes it as combining competence in programming, natural sciences and data mining to develop and maintain customized workflow applications and to offer service and support in related fields. The founder's academic and professional background shaped the company's direction. Dr. Martin Loos completed a Diploma in Geoecology with a pre-degree in Biochemistry at the University of Potsdam (Germany) from 2001 to 2008, with a thesis carried out at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. He then earned an MSc in Environmental Sciences, majoring in Biogeochemistry and Pollution Control, at ETH Zürich (Switzerland) from 2008 to 2012, receiving the Willi-Studer-Award in 2012. From 2012 to 2015 he pursued a PhD in Environmental Chemistry and Data Mining at Eawag (Dübendorf, Switzerland) and Aalto University (Helsinki, Finland), supported by an SNF mobility fellowship. This trajectory combined environmental chemistry with data mining — precisely the blend that envibee later commercialized. envibee's service portfolio is organized around three major areas: workflows and software; non-target screening and data analysis; and trainings and workshops. In the workflows and software area, the company develops computational workflow solutions for scientific data analysis and data mining, providing solutions tailored to the specific needs of customers such as laboratories or research facilities, along with maintenance and user support. The company articulates the problem it addresses: scientific data analysis often requires mining large data sets for relevant information or interesting trends, then prioritizing, summarizing and visualizing results. While this can be automated with proper computational workflow tools, developing and using such tools is rarely straightforward — workflows need to be customized, streamlined and tested, and must be flexible enough to be updated with new data, new parameters or optional analysis steps while maintaining calculation speed, stability and reproducibility. Many users of scientific workflows are not trained in computer coding to develop reliable workflow solutions themselves, to convert them into distributable packages, or to maintain and document them. envibee positions itself as filling that gap. The company's scientific work is reflected in peer-reviewed publications co-authored by Dr. Loos, including studies on industrial emissions in a large European river using data mining of high-frequency measurements (Water Research, 2025), characterization of water-soluble synthetic polymeric substances in wastewater using LC-HRMS/MS (Water Research, 2021), assessing emissions from pharmaceutical manufacturing based on temporal high-resolution mass spectrometry data (Environmental Science and Technology, 2020), and suspect screening of hydrocarbon surfactants in AFFFs and AFFF-contaminated groundwater by high resolution mass spectrometry (2019). These publications illustrate the applied research context in which envibee operates. As a small private company, envibee does not disclose detailed financial or corporate history. Its public presence consists primarily of its company website, a GitHub presence, and the professional profiles of its founder. The company remains active, serving laboratories, research facilities and scientific organizations with customized computational workflows and data analysis expertise.
