Opentrons will use the funding to expand its automated laboratory platform for life sciences and healthcare.
New York, NY – September 23, 2021: Today Opentrons Labworks Inc. announced that SoftBank Vision Fund 2* has led a $200 million Series C investment in the company, with participation from Khosla Ventures. Opentrons will use the funding to further invest in its global automated laboratory platform.
"Biology opens the door to solving many of humanity's grand challenges. For too long, scientists and clinicians have been hamstrung by the slow, expensive, and overly complex laboratory solutions that underpinned their work." Opentrons CEO Jon Brennan-Badal said. "Opentrons' platform provides the key to unlocking its potential. We are doing more R&D, more testing, more biological research to unlock innovation in life sciences and healthcare."
This laboratory platform uniquely integrates the development of laboratory robotics, analysis and operations to create high-quality and cost-effective end solutions. Opentrons uses the platform to provide the following industry-specific laboratory solutions:
- Health System Diagnostic Laboratory Services:通過子公司流行病應(yīng)對實(shí)驗(yàn)室服務為一體,該公司將該平臺用于自己的子公司實(shí)驗(yàn)室服務延伸,提供價(jià)格低廉各有優勢、高通量的分子診斷測試。 去年核心技術,美國各地的醫(yī)院和衛(wèi)生系統(tǒng)已使用這些檢測實(shí)驗(yàn)室服務(wù)對超過 450 萬名患者進(jìn)行了檢測。
- Laboratory automation robots for life science R&D:通過 Opentrons Robotics 業(yè)務(wù)部門可以使用,該公司銷售價(jià)格實(shí)惠的實(shí)驗(yàn)室機(jī)器人技術的開發,以幫助生命科學(xué)研發(fā)實(shí)驗(yàn)室實(shí)現(xiàn)操作自動(dòng)化。 Opentrons 的旗艦產(chǎn)品 OT-2 機(jī)器人被 40 多個(gè)國家的數(shù)千個(gè)研究組織使用不久前。 在整個(gè) COVID-19 大流行期間用上了,OT-2 機(jī)器人被部署到世界各地的醫(yī)院實(shí)驗(yàn)室來測試數(shù)百萬患者樣本。
- Genome-scale cell engineering for biopharmaceuticals:通過 Neochromosome 子公司能力建設,該公司開發(fā)并部署了其生物鑄造廠關註,該工廠具有獨(dú)特的能力,能夠以前所未有的通量合成基因組規(guī)模的 DNA 構(gòu)建體無障礙。 利用最近收購的 Zenith AI 的合作連日來,該公司正在為治療藥物的發(fā)現(xiàn)、開發(fā)和生物制造創(chuàng)造變革性解決方案。
"Opentrons is building a disruptive automated laboratory platform designed to transform healthcare and life sciences with vertically integrated, low-cost solutions," said Angela Du, investment director at SoftBank Investment Advisors. "The company has expertise in laboratory diagnostics and synthesis The genomics market has a strong value proposition and its robotics and consumables are now fundamental components of the market. We look forward to working with CEO Jonathan Brennan-Badal to help the company accelerate growth and commercialize new products."
The Series C round will bring significant investment into the Opentrons platform. In particular, the investment will support the development of new robotic tools, an expanded biofoundry, new diagnostic tests and additional diagnostic laboratories. All of these initiatives will lead to better, more affordable solutions for our life sciences and healthcare customers.
