Our Team
LevitasBio is unlocking a new dimension in cellular analysis.
Our mission is to advance science and human health by providing researchers with a new and powerful method of cellular analysis. While the last decade has seen tremendous advancement in analytical tools for genomics and proteomics such as next-generation sequencing, single cell genomics, and even phenotypic imaging down to single-cell resolution, there had been no innovation in the sample preparation and cellular analysis market for decades – until now.
Here at LevitasBio, we are delivering the first truly novel approach to cellular analysis in 30 years. Our proprietary label-free levitation technology enable researchers to rescue and achieve higher quality and quantity of cells without introducing bias, high pressure, and modifications to gene expression profiles, ensuring the integrity of downstream data and analysis is maintained.
Meet the team behind the #levitationrevolution.
