OmicPrep

Decoding disease, one cell at a time

OmicPrep is a breakthrough sample preparation device designed to accelerate and simplify advanced multi-omics analysis for clinicians and researchers. OmicPrep enables seamless processing down to single-cell resolution to deliver cost effective workflows, greater reproducibility, and unprecedented insight into health and disease for the future of personalised medicine.

The Problem

As spatial and single-cell omics increasingly operate with minute sample quantities, conventional methods become impractical and often ineffective. This technical bottleneck typically restricts analyses to a single omics modality, substantially limiting biological insight and increasing the risk of overlooking important therapeutic and diagnostic opportunities.

The Solution

OmicPrep, directly addresses this market gap by enabling integrated single-cell and spatial multi-omics with ultra-low-input sensitivity. It recovers nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites from extremely small biological samples while performing on-membrane derivatization to enhance detection sensitivity. This allows comprehensive molecular profiling from rare cells, single biopsy cells, organoids and spatially defined tissue regions obtained by laser microdissection.
