BEACON ASIA TOUR |
Join us in Singapore at National Cancer Center Singapore
Overview
Experience the full potential of live single-cell functional analysis and discover how researchers use Beacon technology to accelerate discoveries and unlock new insights.
Powered by advanced optofluidics, every Beacon instrument lets you track multimodal, time-resolved cellular responses in real timeโseamlessly pairing functional data with sequencing from the very same cell.
Explore Beacon Discoveryโข, our new benchtop platform that packs these powerful optofluidic capabilities into a more accessible and compact package.
