Explore Biology at the Level of Single-Cells with High Precision, Speed, and Throughput

ABOUT US

Single-Cell Microfluidics and Advanced Technologies

Acoustic Bio is an early-stage company pioneering technologies to scale and accelerate single-cell screening workflow. Our platform integrates microfluidics, live-cell imaging, novel acoustic technology, and machine learning to empower biologists to discover bioproducts in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods.

Miniaturization

Transition from plate-based format to a pico-scale microfluidic device to increase screening capacity by orders of magnitude

High-Throughput Discovery

The platform allows massively parallel studies of cell function at single-cell resolution

Innovative Acoustic Technology

Patented acoustic technology allows rapid retrieval of individual cells or colonies for downstream processing

Accelerates workflows from
weeks to hours

Screen up to a million cells per day

Transform room-scale automation to a miniaturized device that operates at the level of single cells

PIONEERING SOLUTIONS

Extensive
Application Potential

Functional Genomics

High-throughput screening of CRISPR edited cells (mammalian and yeast)

Immune Single-Cell Profiling

Phenotypic and functional screening of B-cells and T-cells

Synthetic Biology

Test large number of genetic variants faster and more efficiently

Emerging Applications

Cell therapy (engineered stem cell and T-Cells)

How it works

A simple, yet powerful platform for screening cell function at the level of single-cells

INNOVATION IN ACTION

Acoustic Retrieval

Real-time video of acoustic retrieval of live individual GFP expressing Raji cells from individual nanowells
