LASE Innovation
Private Company
Funding information not available
Overview
LASE Innovation is an early-stage, private company based in Cambridge, MA, founded in 2019. It has developed a patented laser particle (LP™) technology for optical cell barcoding, allowing researchers to track hundreds of thousands to millions of individual cells over time and across different experimental modalities. The company operates primarily as a platform tools provider, with its first commercial service launched in collaboration with Talon Biomarkers in 2025. It has secured non-dilutive funding through SBIR grants from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is focused on enabling next-generation single-cell analysis for drug discovery and biomarker development.
Technology Platform
LP™ (Laser Particle) Optical Cell Barcoding platform using light-emitting particles with narrowband emission for massively multiplexed tracking of individual cells across flow cytometry, sequencing, and microscopy.
Opportunities
Risk Factors
Competitive Landscape
LASE competes in the single-cell analysis market against major players like 10x Genomics (sequencing), BD and Standard BioTools (flow/mass cytometry), and startups in cell barcoding. Its differentiation lies in enabling longitudinal tracking of the same cell across platforms, a capability not fully addressed by current snapshot-based technologies.
