“We are extremely grateful for the strong support we have received from this premium group of investors in this significantly oversubscribed round. It is a testament to our game changing technology, solid IP, and strong early market adoption,” said Dr. Yuling Luo, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Alamar. “Our proprietary NULISA™ technology has demonstrated superior performance and a unique combination of capabilities that will enable our customers to accelerate biomarker discovery and the development of non-invasive tests for diseases with high unmet need. With this funding, we are now well positioned to power precision proteomics through accelerated commercialization.”

“Proteomics represents a dynamic and fast-growing market with significant opportunity for disruption as new platforms providing both higher sensitivity and multiplex capability are needed to accelerate proteomics research and translation,” said Ian Ratcliffe, Executive Managing Partner of Sands Capital. “The enthusiasm we have seen from early customers makes us believe that Alamar is poised to become a leader in the evolving proteomics space.” 

Earlier this year, Alamar announced the commercial launch of the ARGO™ HT System and the NULISAseq™ Inflammation Panel 250 for deep profiling of immune response. Alamar’s NULISA technology utilizes a novel sequential capture and release method to purify the immune complex, improving signal-to-noise by more than 10,000-fold. It also provides corresponding increases in sensitivity and dynamic range in comparison with traditional immunoassay approaches. The ARGO HT System provides an automated method for running NULISA assays with less than 30 minutes of total hands-on time. With qPCR and NGS readouts, the NULISA platform enables both focused analysis of validated biomarkers and highly multiplexed profiling of hundreds to ultimately thousands of proteins. The company plans to use the funds to grow the commercial and customer support teams, drive market adoption, and expand the product menu.
