  1. Our mission: To Put a highly capable flow cytometer in arm’s reach of every scientist.

  2. Flow cytometry Flow cytometers are used to analyze, count, and sort cells and particles. Immunology Drug Discovery Stem Cells Cancer

  3. Current state of the art

  4. Technological Obstacles • Fluorescence Detection: • Requires 1 PMT per color • Expensive and complicated optics • Cell Sorting: • Charged plates: high voltage and bulky • High shear stress on cells • Creates aerosols • Expensive, complex, large instruments

  5. Technological Obstacles • Fluorescence Detection: • 1 PMT can detect 3+ colors • Simpler optics • Cell Sorting: • On-chip disposable sorter • Gentle on cells • Closed system (no aerosols) • Small, Simple, Affordable Yellow Beads Green Beads

  6. Customer barriers • Complex large machines • Too expensive for most labs • Shared facilities are impractical • Dangerous if not done properly • Start and clean up takes hours SMALL AFFORDABLE PERSONAL SIMPLE SAFE Accelerate discoveries

  7. Large and complex  small and simple

  8. Key competitive advantages • Proprietary technology • Simplified optics • 3+ colors using only one detector* • On-chip sorting • Microfluidic device with PZT* • *patent pending, exclusive licensing from UCSD Small & Portable 1. 2. Concept Design

  9. Thank you Small & Portable • What we are looking for? • Early Adopters • Collaborators • Partnerships/Investments Concept Design
