Lightcast

Massively parallel single-cell platform for functional analysis

Lightcast Discovery aims to unleash new capabilities within the single-cell analysis field by developing a more accessible, scalable, and flexible platform for scientists in basic, translational, and applied research. These capabilities will empower new biological discoveries and accelerate the development of novel drugs, therapies, and biologics. Founded in 2019 and based in Cambridge, UK, Lightcast has invented a technology that uses light to control picolitre-scale droplets for functional analysis of individual cells, which can then be moved to other platforms for further interrogation.
