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 Stem Cells Drug Discovery 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 Accelerate discoveries SMALL AFFORDABLE PERSONAL SAFE SIMPLE

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 Concept Design

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