Current report

In November 2025, we presented an updated technology and product roadmap that we believe positions us to be a leader in proteomics, including instrumentation, consumable kits and software tools. We intend to continue to execute on this roadmap through a combination of internal development programs and external partnerships to bring to market the most comprehensive proteomics platform in our industry.

Current report

Most importantly, this roadmap includes the development of Proteus TM, our next-generation platform, which was announced in November 2024 and is anticipated to launch by the end of 2026. Proteus aims to provide single-molecule, amino acid level resolution while also providing anticipated significantly higher sequencing output per sample and increased sample throughout per run, automation of the sequencing workflow and automated data analysis as compared to Platinum Pro. The Proteus platform is being developed to be a modular, scalable system that allows for expansion in the overall platform, the number of consumables that can be processed concurrently and the overall output of sample data from the platform. The first generation of Proteus and associated sequencing consumables is anticipated to include motion control, liquid handling, and a new on-board single optical system with the ability to accept a new consumable chip that has approximately 80 million features. We believe this new platform will provide much deeper insights while simplifying and significantly reducing the cost of the underlying consumable. In addition, during our presentation in November 2025, we provided data demonstrating the wide range of proteomics applications that are addressable with our proprietary, single-molecule, kinetic detection technology.

Current report

Although the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered interest rates slightly in 2024 and in the third and fourth quarters of 2025, it is not known whether additional action will be taken to lower interest rates and if this decrease, and any other decreases, will have an impact on inflation. While these rate fluctuations have not had a significant adverse impact on the Company to date, the impact of such rate fluctuations on the overall financial markets and the economy may adversely impact the Company in the future. In addition, the global economy has experienced and is continuing to experience high levels of inflation and global supply chain disruptions. The Company continues to monitor these supply chain, inflation and interest rate factors, as well as the uncertainty resulting from the overall economic environment.

Current report

To date, the Company has not been materially affected by enacted tariffs either by the U.S. government or foreign retaliatory tariffs; however, the Company’s finished goods and/or their components could become materially affected by changing tariffs in the future. If increased tariffs are imposed on the Company’s finished goods and/or components, they may impact the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Current report

Although the Company has not been significantly impacted by geopolitical conflicts throughout the world, the Company has experienced certain constraints in product and material availability and increasing costs required to obtain certain materials and supplies as a result of these conflicts on the global economy. To date, the business has not been materially impacted by these conflicts, however, as the conflicts continue or worsen, they may impact the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Current report

Previous wording

We are a life sciences company focused on proteomics research, with the mission of transforming single-molecule analysis and democratizing its use by providing researchers and clinicians access to the proteome, the set of proteins expressed within a cell. We have developed a proprietary universal single-molecule detection platform that we are applying to proteomics to enable Next-Generation Protein Sequencing TM (“NGPS”), to sequence proteins in a massively parallel fashion (rather than sequentially, one at a time), which can also be used for the study of nucleic acids. We believe that the ability to sequence proteins in a massively parallel fashion and offer a fast analysis time provides NGPS with the potential to unlock significant biological information through improved resolution and unbiased access to the proteome at a speed and scale that is not available today. Traditionally, proteomic workflows to sequence proteins required days or weeks to complete. Our platform includes our Platinum NGPS instrument, Platinum Analysis Software, and consumable kits for use with our Platinum instrument. In 2021, we introduced our Platinum early access program to sites with participation from leading academic centers and key industry partners. The early access program introduced the Platinum single-molecule sequencing system to key opinion leaders across the globe for both expansion and development of applications and workflows. We began a controlled launch of the Platinum instrument and started to take orders in December 2022, and subsequently began a controlled commercial launch of Platinum in January 2023, and then moved to a full commercial launch of Platinum beginning the second quarter of 2024.

We believe that our platform offers a differentiated solution in a rapidly evolving proteomics tools market. Within our initial focus market of proteomics, our platform is designed to provide users a seamless opportunity to gain key insights into the immediate state of biological pathways and cell state. Our platform aims to address many of the key challenges and bottlenecks with legacy proteomic solutions, such as mass spectrometry (“MS”), which include high instrument costs both in terms of acquisition and ownership, and complexity with data analysis, which together limit broad adoption. We believe our platform, which is designed to streamline sequencing and data analysis at a lower instrument cost and with greater automation than legacy proteomic solutions, could allow our product to have wide utility across the study of the proteome. For example, our platform could be used for biomarker discovery and disease detection, pathway analysis, immune response, vaccine development, quality assurance and quality control, among other applications.
