Lithuanian biotech Droplet Genomics opened an office in the US

Lithuanian biotech Droplet Genomics opened an office in the US. The company plans to hire up to 10 people in the new commercial division this year. Besides, the startup is going to raise new capital.

Droplet Genomics provides droplet microfluidics technology which enables compartmentalizing molecular biology reactions into millions of pico-liter droplets. Thus, it is possible to study biological samples at the resolution of single cells and single molecules. Also, the company has developed a Semi-Permeable Capsule technology that enables multi-step workflows in a droplet format for high-throughput analysis of biological samples. 

Droplet Genomics was established in Lithuania in 2018. In 2021 it received €1M from Lithuanian fund Practica Capital.
