Overview
Epigenica is a Stockholm-based biotech company pioneering high-throughput, multiplexed epigenetic profiling. Its patented EpiFinder™ platform, powered by hmqChIP-seq and LACODE barcoding technology, enables simultaneous analysis of up to 8 epigenetic markers across 24 samples from low-input materials, including plasma. This positions the company to address significant bottlenecks in epigenetics research and biomarker discovery for diseases like cancer. Epigenica is currently commercializing its first product kits and appears to be a privately-held, pre-revenue or early-revenue platform technology company.
Technology Platform
EpiFinder™ platform: A patented, first-in-class multiplexed quantitative ChIP-seq (hmqChIP-seq) technology combined with proprietary LACODE barcoding. It enables high-throughput, simultaneous profiling of up to 8 epigenetic marks across 24 samples from low-input materials, including liquid biopsy.

Competitive Landscape
Epigenica competes with providers of traditional low-throughput ChIP-seq reagents and services (e.g., Diagenode, Active Motif, CST) and emerging NGS-based epigenetic assay providers. Its primary differentiation is the combination of high-plex, high-throughput, and quantitative data from low-input/liquid biopsy samples, positioning it in a unique niche.
