Freedom to discover

Unlike conventional microfluidic platforms, the Lightcast platform is not constrained by predetermined channels or wells which limit flexibility. As a result you have the ability to control the location and movement of objects to support your experimental needs.

Technology

Flexible control

At Lightcast we are developing a platform that combines the flexibility to analyse a wide range of cell types and assays with precise control over droplet number, occupancy, location and movement. Together this enables efficient, multi-step workflows that scale to match your experimental needs.

Redefine your workflow

Lightcast provides a flexible platform for precisely interrogating single-cell interactions and functional behaviours at scale.

Redefine your workflow

Conduct complex experiments with ease, speed, and precision. See your research in a new light with our complete programmable microfluidics platform.

Massively parallel

Perform thousands of operations simultaneously across the array to accelerate functional screening assays.

Sequential assays

Combine multiple assays into single streamlined workflows for deeper functional characterization.

Virtual addressing

Track each droplet, from load, through multiple assays, to dispense with corresponding imaging.

Live cell recovery

Dispense your hits into well plates for downstream applications, such as clonal outgrowth or NGS-based readouts.

Our platform

The Lightcast platform consists of 3 core components that provide the foundation for building single cell functional analysis

Drug discovery

Take control of the lead identification and optimization stage with streamlined, multi-step, single-cell assays. Isolate your strongest leads sooner, with deeper functional understanding, to positively impact campaign success rates.

Basic and translational research

Flexibility enables more efficient use of time, space and budget across all research areas. Study cell-to-cell communication, gain a deeper understanding of immune function, or assess the functional impact of CRISPR edits — all on a single platform.
