Introduction

This Conflict Minerals Report (this “Report”) for Standard BioTools Inc., formerly known as Fluidigm Corporation (“Standard BioTools”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”), covers the reporting period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 and is presented in accordance with Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 13p-1”). This Report is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to our Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD (the “Form SD”). A copy of this Report and the Form SD are publicly available on our website at https://investors.standardbio.com/sec-filings. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute part of this Report and inclusion of our website address in this Report is an inactive textual reference only.

In 2010, the United States Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”). Section 1502 of the Act relates to “conflict minerals” and requires companies subject to the Act to file a Form SD annually with the SEC. This disclosure must state whether "3TG minerals" - which are defined as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, and their respective derivatives (tungsten, tantalum, and tin, as well as gold itself) - when used in the Company’s products, benefited, directly or indirectly, armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries (collectively, the “Covered Countries”). This Report, which is an exhibit to our Form SD, describes the design and implementation of our conflict minerals due diligence measures undertaken, including a description of how these measures were designed to determine, to our knowledge, the source mines, countries of origin, and processing facilities for 3TG minerals contained in components used in our products.

Company Background

Standard BioTools is committed to setting the new standard in the life science tools industry through strategic consolidation, best-in-class operations and a world-class management team. Our established portfolio includes essential, standardized next-generation solutions designed to help biomedical researchers develop better therapeutics faster. We offer a diverse range of instrumentation, consumables, and services that generate high-quality data across early discovery, translational and clinical research. With advanced technologies in proteomics and genomics, we empower scientists to gain deeper biological insights, accelerate discoveries, and drive improved health outcomes across diverse therapeutic areas including immunology, oncology, neuroscience, cardiometabolic diseases and more. Standard BioTools works with leading academic, government, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, plant and animal research, and clinical laboratories worldwide, focusing on the most pressing needs in translational and clinical research, including oncology, immunology, and immunotherapy.

We distribute our systems through our direct sales force and support organizations located in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, and through distributors or sales agents in several European, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Asia-Pacific countries. Our manufacturing operations are located in Singapore, Canada, Malaysia, and the United States (Boulder,

 


 

Colorado). Our facility in Singapore manufactures integrated fluidic circuits (“IFCs”) and assemblies of microfluidics instruments. All of our IFCs for commercial sale and some IFCs for our research and development purposes are also fabricated at our Singapore facility. Our mass cytometry instruments and reagents for commercial sale, as well as for internal research and development purposes, are manufactured at our facility in Markham, Canada. Genomics reagents are manufactured at our facility in Markham, Canada.

Covered Products

We have determined that one or more of the 3TG minerals may be necessary to the functionality or production of the following products we manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, as applicable, during 2024: our Access Array™, AccuLift™ Laser Capture Microdissection systems, Biomark™ HD, Biomark X™, C1™, CyTOF®, CyTOF XT™, CyTOF XT Pro™, EP1™, Flow Conductor™ sample prep, Helios™, Hyperion™ Imaging, Hyperion™ XTi Imaging, Juno™ and X9™, Dynamic Array ™, Advanta ™, Flex Six ™, Digital Array ™, qdPCR ™ , 48.Atlas ™ (collectively, “covered products”).

Our supply chain with respect to the covered products is complex, and there are many third parties in the supply chain between the original source of the 3TG minerals and the manufacture of the covered products. We do not purchase raw ore or unrefined 3TG minerals directly and make no purchases in the Covered Countries. As a result, and as described more fully below, we rely on our suppliers to provide information on the origin of the conflict minerals contained in our products.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

In accordance with Rule 13p-1 and Form SD, we determined that one or more of the 3TG minerals may be necessary to the functionality or production of our systems and IFCs and that such 3TG minerals are incorporated into our products during the manufacturing process. Accordingly, we undertook a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”). This good faith RCOI was reasonably designed to determine whether any of the 3TG minerals incorporated into our products originated in the Covered Countries.

Our RCOI consisted principally of submitting the conflict minerals reporting template (the “RMI Template”) prepared by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”), a global leader for the responsible sourcing of minerals that provides information on conformant and active smelters and refiners, common tools to gather sourcing information, and forums for exchanging best practices on addressing conflict minerals, to suppliers of components for our products that are considered necessary to the functionality or production of our products and for which any 3TG minerals may be included (“first-tier suppliers”). We reviewed all responses for completeness, reasonableness, and consistency, and we followed up for corrections and clarifications as we determined appropriate.

Due Diligence Process

Our due diligence measures are designed to conform, in all material respects, with the framework in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (the “OECD Framework”). The objectives of our diligence initiative are to determine, to the best of our ability: (i) whether any of the 3TG minerals are incorporated into our products and, if so, necessary for the functionality and/or production of our products; (ii) the source and chain of custody of the 3TG minerals necessary for the functionality and/or production of our products; and (iii) whether any such 3TG minerals originated in the Covered Countries. In the event that 3TG minerals from the Covered Countries are found in our supply chain, we will take appropriate actions in a timely manner to resolve the situation.

Due diligence measures that we have implemented include, but are not limited, to the following:

1.
Establishment of Internal Management Systems
a.
Conflict Minerals Policy. In 2013, we adopted a written policy relating to the use of conflict minerals in our supply chain. We have communicated this written policy to each of our first-tier suppliers. A copy of the Standard BioTools Conflict Minerals Policy is publicly available at https://investors.standardbio.com/social-responsibility.

2


 

b.
Internal Management to Support Supply Chain Due Diligence. Our legal department has collaborated with members from our operations team in Singapore, Canada, Malaysia and the United States on the conflict minerals due diligence process.
c.
Supplier Engagement. We continue to engage actively with our first-tier suppliers to strengthen our relationship with them. We have communicated to our suppliers our commitment to source conflict minerals in a manner that does not, directly or indirectly, benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. We will consider alternative arrangements for our supply needs if our suppliers are unable to cooperate in our due diligence efforts. In particular, as part of our supplier qualification process, we generally request conflict minerals information from each new supplier of potentially applicable products.
d.
Grievance Mechanism. Our code of conduct includes procedures for reporting violations of our policies, including our Conflict Minerals Policy. We provide mechanisms for anonymous reporting of violations or concerns about the conduct of our business, including the implementation and enforcement of our Conflict Minerals Policy.
2.
Identification and Assessment of Risks in the Supply Chain
a.
Identification of 3TG Minerals in Our Products. As described above, we determined that one or more of the 3TG minerals may be necessary to the functionality or production of certain products we manufactured, or contracted to manufacture, as applicable, during 2024.
b.
Determination of Source and Chain of Custody of the 3TG Minerals. As described above,we adopted RMI’s industry approach to trace the origin of 3TG minerals by identifying smelters or refiners (“SoRs”), recyclers and scrap supplier sources. We have leveraged industry initiatives such as RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”), which provides us with verified information about the sourcing activities of the SoRs in our supply chain. We identified our first-tier suppliers and relied on them to provide the necessary information about the use of 3TG minerals in the products we purchase and incorporate into the manufacture of our systems and IFCs, and the source of such 3TG minerals. Similarly, our first-tier suppliers rely on information provided by their suppliers to provide information regarding the country of origin of 3TG minerals included in our products.
c.
Determination of Whether 3TG Minerals Originated in Covered Countries. As described above, we undertook an RCOI with respect to conflict minerals in our supply chain by providing the RMI Template to each of our first-tier suppliers to gather information about their use of 3TG minerals, the SoRs in their supply chain that are included in our products, and the countries of origin for 3TG minerals used in our products. We reviewed all responses for completeness, reasonableness, and consistency. We contacted first-tier suppliers that did not respond to our request for conflict minerals information by the requested date and followed up for corrections and clarifications as we determined appropriate.
3.
Design and Implementation of a Strategy to Respond to Identified Risks

We have developed a formal risk management plan through which our conflict minerals program is managed and monitored. As part of this risk management plan, where applicable, we will review circumstances in which certain suppliers are unable to provide us with complete or reliable responses to the RMI Template including, without limitation, considering whether to continue such contract or relationship or find a replacement supplier.

4.
Independent Third-Party Audit of Supply Chain Due Diligence at Identified Points in the Supply Chain

We do not have a direct relationship with any SoRs in our supply chain. As a result, we do not and cannot conduct any audits directly. Instead, we support the development and implementation of independent third-party audits of smelters such as those by RMAP, which uses independent third-party audits of SoRs to determine if all of the minerals processed by the SoR originated from a conflict-free source. We encourage our suppliers to purchase materials from audited, conflict-free smelters and determining whether the smelters that were used to process these minerals were validated as conflict-free by RMAP.

5.
Report on Supply Chain Due Diligence

3


 

We publicly filed the Form SD and this Report with the SEC. A copy of this Report and the Form SD are publicly available at https://investors.standardbio.com/sec-filings.

Findings and Conclusion

Due to our downstream position in the supply chain, any efforts to understand the origin of raw materials rely heavily on the cooperation of our first-tier suppliers. Most of the responses received from our first-tier suppliers provided information at company/division levels, rather than specific product/part number levels. As a result, we were unable to determine whether or to what extent any of the 3TG minerals reported as used by these first-tier suppliers were contained specifically in components supplied to us. We also were unable to validate whether the SoRs reported by such first-tier suppliers are actually in our supply chain. Accordingly, based on information that was provided by our first-tier suppliers or that was otherwise obtained through our due diligence process, we are unable to determine and describe all facilities used to process the 3TG minerals contained in our covered products.

Based on the information that was provided by our suppliers and otherwise obtained through the due diligence process, we believe that, to the extent reasonably determinable, the facilities that were used to process the 3TG minerals contained in the covered products included the SoRs listed in Annex A attached hereto. This table excludes facilities that are not listed in the Smelter Reference List published by RMI as of May 20, 2025 (the “RMI Smelter Reference List”).

Because the RMI Smelter Reference List generally did not indicate individual countries of origin of the conflict minerals processed by SoRs, we were not able to determine with greater specificity the countries of origin of the 3TG minerals processed by the listed SoRs. Furthermore, as stated earlier, submission of these smelters by our first-tier suppliers does not guarantee that these SoRs are present in Standard BioTools’s supply chain as our first-tier suppliers were generally only able to provide company-level RMI Templates and were not able to provide product-level RMI Templates directly linking those SoRs to such covered products. Therefore, based on our due diligence efforts, we do not have sufficient information to conclusively determine the countries of origin of the 3TG minerals contained in the covered products.

Future Steps

We have communicated our expectations to our first-tier suppliers regarding our commitment to sourcing minerals for our products in a manner that does not, directly or indirectly, finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. We continue to take steps to mitigate the risk that the necessary conflict minerals in our products could benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. These steps include ongoing engagement with our relevant suppliers to build their knowledge and capacity so they are able to provide us with more complete and accurate information on the source and chain of custody of the 3TG minerals included in components and parts purchased by us and incorporated into our products.

Additional Risk Factors

The statements above are based on the RCOI process and due diligence performed in good faith by Standard BioTools. These statements are based on the infrastructure and information available at the time the RCOI and due diligence process were performed. A number of factors could introduce errors or otherwise affect the accuracy of our 3TG mineral disclosures. These factors include, but are not limited to:

gaps in supplier data;
gaps in smelter data;
errors or omissions by suppliers;
errors or omissions by smelters;
all instances of 3TG minerals necessary to the functionality or manufacturing of our products not yet having been identified;
gaps in supplier education and knowledge;
timeliness of data;
public information not discovered during a reasonable search;
errors in public data;
language barriers and translation;
supplier and smelter unfamiliarity with the protocols for identifying and sourcing potential 3TG minerals;

4


 

oversight or errors in conflict-free smelter audits;
Covered Countries sourced materials being declared secondary materials;
companies going out of business in 2024;
certification programs being not equally advanced for all industry segments and metals;
smuggling of 3TG minerals from the Covered Countries to other countries; and
the effects of inclement weather conditions, natural disasters or pandemics.

Certain of our first-tier suppliers reported the presence of African Gold Refinery, an entity that was sanctioned by the United States Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control on March 17, 2022. Because of the over-reporting nature of the RMI Template information collection process, and the nature of the supply chains and goods, we are unable to confirm whether African Gold Refinery, or any smelter or refiner, is or was active in our supply chain. We have been in communication with first-tier suppliers who listed African Gold Refinery and will continue necessary follow-up to have this refiner removed from their supply chain.
