## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Life Sciences / Biotechnology Research
- **Target customers**: B2B — academic, pharmaceutical, and biotech research laboratories
- **Mission**: “Accelerate progress in human health and scientific research” [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/parse-biosciences)

## Products & Services
All products are reagent kits and software, not hardware.
- **Evercode Whole Transcriptome (WT Mini, WT, WT Mega, WT Penta)**: End-to-end kits for scalable single-cell RNA sequencing from cells or nuclei; up to 5 million cells and 384 samples in a single run (WT Penta).
- **Evercode Immune Profiling (TCR & BCR)**: Fixation-based immune repertoire profiling kits for T-cell receptor and B-cell receptor sequencing with gene expression.

- **Combinatorial barcoding eliminates ambient RNA contamination**, a common issue in droplet methods.
- **Sample fixation** allows batching of time-course experiments and easier collaboration.
- **Scalability** – single experiments can profile up to 5 million cells and 384 samples (WT Penta).
- **Included data analysis** (Trailmaker) reduces the need for separate bioinformatics teams.

## Strategic Focus
- Expand into FFPE samples and immune profiling to unlock new applications.
- Strengthen bioinformatics capabilities through the acquisition of Biomage.
- Grow global sales team (openings in Europe, North America, and Canada).
- Continue to demonstrate cost and quality advantages over droplet-based competitors.
