- **Mission or purpose**: “Powering precision proteomics to enable the earliest detection of disease.”

## Products & Services
- **NULISA Chemistry & Consumables**: A proprietary assay technology (Nucleic Acid Linked Immuno-Sandwich Assay) that combines ultra-high sensitivity with high specificity, capable of analyzing hundreds of protein biomarkers in a single 10 µL biofluid sample. Available in pre-configured panels (e.g., NULISAseq™ Neuro 220 Panel for neurological disease research).
- **ARGO System**: An all-in-one automated instrument with onboard qPCR that runs NULISA assays from sample to result, enabling walk-away automation for both single-plex and multiplex biomarker analysis.
- **Alamar Software**: A comprehensive data analysis and visualization platform that integrates with the ARGO instrument to turn raw data into actionable insights.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: $1.37 billion market cap (post-IPO, April 2026)
