Exquisite Control: Design and execute custom single-cell characterization experiments with unmatched precision.
Unparalleled Versatility: Perform real-time imaging alongside diverse sequential assays on the same live cells. Seamlessly link cellular phenotypes to molecular mechanisms through downstream sequencing of selected cells.
Automated Scalability: Analyze anywhere from 500 to 50,000 single cells, enabling the study of rare clinical samples or high-throughput screening with ease.
Meet the Beacon Optofluidic System

The Most Advanced Platform

Function-First
Total Solution

At the core of the Beacon system is a combination of optics and nanofluidics called optofluidics. The OptoSelect® chips replace typical well plates. Each OptoSelect chip contains thousands of NanoPen® chambers, which replace wells on a microplate. This is where cells are selectively placed, cultured and characterized using a myriad of proprietary Beacon Platform assays.
