LASE Innovation Inc. is a Boston-area techbio company commercializing LP™ Optical Cell Barcoding, a laser-particle technology that tags individual cells with narrowband light signatures tuned across more than 1,000 wavelengths. Spun out of the Wellman Center at Massachusetts General Hospital and MIT, the platform lets researchers run multiple passes of flow cytometry on the same sample, track the same cells over time, and connect single-cell data across flow, imaging and sequencing. The company is turning a long-standing limitation of flow cytometry - that you generally read a cell once and lose it - into a repeatable, trackable measurement.
Newomics is a Berkeley, California biotechnology company building mass spectrometry front-end hardware for precision medicine. Spun out of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, its silicon multinozzle emitter (M3) and MnESI ion source upgrade existing mass spectrometers to deliver microflow robustness with nanospray sensitivity, enabling higher-throughput, higher-sensitivity multiomics across proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, native MS and single-cell analysis. The company sells to pharmaceutical, academic and government labs and co-markets with major instrument vendors like Thermo Fisher Scientific.
