Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Note 11 – Subsequent Events The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Other than as disclosed in this Note 11 and as may be disclosed elsewhere in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no subsequent events that require adjustment or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Effective April 1, 2024, the Company entered into a lease assignment agreement where the Company assigned, transferred, set over and conveyed to an assignee all its estate, right, title and interest in and to the lease at its Rockville, Maryland headquarters. The Company’s security deposit will remain with the landlord and be repaid over time as agreed upon with the assignee. The Company has a continuing liability under the lease so the Company will continue to account for the headlease as a continuing operating lease and the lease assignment as a sublease. On April 11, 2024, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with David E. Lazar. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Company engaged Mr. Lazar to act as its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). Mr. Lazar will have the customary powers and responsibilities of a CEO of a corporation of the size and type of the Company. Effective April 1, 2024, Mr. Lazar shall be paid a base salary of $406,000 per annum, which shall be deferred and accrued until the Company’s compensation committee determines that the Company is sufficiently liquid to pay the accrued salary. Under the Agreement, Mr. Lazar will also be eligible for certain annual bonuses, annual incentive bonuses, and special bonuses. The Agreement has a three (3) year term. Mr. Lazar also serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. On April 18, 2024, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company was delinquent in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) and was therefore not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The notice indicated that such delinquency serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities in addition to the failure to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Rule described previously. In accordance with the notice, the Company submitted its response to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel regarding such delinquency and the Company’s plan to cure such delinquency by June 3, 2024, the additional period to regain compliance granted by such Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company filed its Form 10-K on June 3, 2024; however, no assurance can be given as to the final decision of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel regarding a delisting of the Company’s securities. On April 22, 2024, UHY LLP (“UHY”), the Company’s then-current independent public accounting firm, notified the Company that UHY would resign as the Company’s auditor effective as of April 22, 2024. During the period of UHY’s engagement, which commenced in March 2023, UHY did not provide any report on the financial statements of the Company. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through April 22, 2024, there were no: (1) disagreements with UHY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, or (2) reportable events under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. In light of such resignation, on April 23, 2024, the Company engaged Beckles & Co., Inc. (“Beckles”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 and the three months ended March 31, 2024. The appointment of Beckles as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. On April 23, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Camtech Pte Ltd, a Singaporean family office (“Camtech”), for the sale of certain of the Company’s inventory and customer contracts for its Unyvero products. The transaction was entered into following the prior acquisition by Camtech in April 2024 of the assets from the Company’s subsidiary, Curetis GmbH (“Curetis”), as part of Curetis’ insolvency proceedings. The purchase price for the transaction is $218,000, and the transaction closed in May 2024. As part of such letter agreement, the Company also offered Camtech the opportunity to purchase its remaining Unyvero inventory and assets for up to an additional $176,000. Until such sale for the remaining inventory is completed, the Company will maintain commercial operations and service support for the Unyvero systems. The foregoing transactions are part of the Company’s planned exit from its Unyvero business, as the Company continues to seek strategic alternatives. On May 9, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). The Company’s stockholders voted on three proposals, each of which was described in the Company’s proxy statement for the Special Meeting dated May 9, 2024. At the Special Meeting, shares of the Company’s capital stock representing 14,795,642 votes out of a total of 26,435,902 votes of the Company’s capital stock, as of April 26, 2024, the record date for the Special Meeting, were represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting. All three of the following proposals were voted upon and approved at the Special Meeting. Proposal 1 approved (i) the issuance to David E. Lazar of the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock in excess of applicable beneficial ownership limitations, the issuance of which would result in a “change of control” under the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market and (ii) an amendment of the Certificate of Designation for the Series E Preferred Stock removing such ownership limitations. Proposal 2 approved the amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio not less than two-to-one and not more than ten-to-one, such ratio and the implementation and timing of such reverse stock split to be determined in the discretion of our Board of Directors. Proposal 3 approved of an adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, Proposals 1 and 2. Following the approval of the amendment of the Certificate of Designation, the Company filed the amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 9, 2024. Except for the removal of the Ownership Limitation, the amendment does not make any other changes to the Certificate of Designation. On May 16, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with the European Investment Bank (the “EIB”) relating to the previously disclosed settlement agreement, dated March 25, 2024, by and between the Company and the EIB (the “Settlement Agreement”). As previously disclosed, in connection with the sale and issuance of shares of preferred stock of the Company to David E. Lazar (the “Private Placement”), the Company entered into the Settlement Agreement with the EIB, which provided, among other things, for the settlement of outstanding liabilities between the EIB, the Company and the Company’s subsidiary, Curetis GmbH (“Curetis”), and the termination of the Company’s guarantee of Curetis’ debt to EIB. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay a portion of the proceeds (the “Settlement Amount”) of the Private Placement to the EIB upon the final closing of the Private Placement. As a result of the delay of the final closing of the Private Placement due to the delay in filing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company and the EIB entered into the Amendment Agreement in order to extend the timing for the payment of the Settlement Amount to June 3, 2024. As of the filing of the original quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Settlement Amount remains unpaid. However, the Company and the EIB are in ongoing discussions and the Company anticipates paying the Settlement Amount in the third quarter of 2024. On May 16, 2024, the Company announced that it intended to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1 post-reverse-split share for every 10 pre-reverse-split shares (the “Reverse Split Ratio”). The Common Stock will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “OPGN” and began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the markets opened on Monday, May 20, 2024, under a new CUSIP number, 68373L505. The Company filed an Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 17, 2024, and the Reverse Stock Split became effective in accordance with the terms of the Amendment on May 20, 2024 (the “Effective Time”). The Reverse Stock Split impacts all holders of OpGen’s common stock proportionally and will not impact any stockholders’ percentage ownership of common stock (except to the extent the Reverse Stock Split results in any stockholder owning a fractional share). No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will receive a whole share in lieu of the fractional share. On May 20, 2024, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company was delinquent in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”) and was therefore not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The notice indicated that such delinquency serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities in addition to the failure to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Rule as well as the failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. In accordance with the notice, the Company submitted its response to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel regarding such delinquency and the Company’s plan to cure such delinquency. On May 29, 2024, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing subject to the Company filing its original quarterly report on Form 10-Q by July 8, 2024. With the filing of the Company’s original quarterly report on Form 10-Q on July 8, 2024, the Company believes it is in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1); however, no assurance can be given as to the final decision of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel regarding a delisting of the Company’s securities. On June 5, 2024, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel notified the Company that it had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. As previously disclosed, the listing staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notified the Company on June 5, 2023 that the Company’s common stock had failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for the 30 consecutive business days preceding the date of such notice as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). In December 2023, the Company appealed such determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which in February 2024, granted the Company’s request for an additional period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. On June 5, 2024, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 or to meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. The notice indicated that such delinquency serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. In accordance with the notice, the Company submitted its response to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel on June 11, 2024 regarding such delinquency and the Company’s plan to cure such delinquency. As with the prior notices received by the Company, the most recent notice from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel will grant the Company additional time to cure such deficiency or, if additional time is granted, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the requirements for continued listing. On July 31, 2024, David E. Lazar, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), consummated a transaction pursuant to which he sold 550,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Stock”) of the Company together with his rights to purchase the additional 2,450,000 shares of Series E Stock under that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 25, 2024 (the “March 2024 Purchase Agreement”), entered into between Mr. Lazar and the Company, to AEI Capital Ltd. (the “Purchaser”) for $2,550,000 (the “Transaction”). In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, Mr. Lazar resigned as Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Director of the Company effective August 2, 2024, and the Board appointed John Tan Honjian, a designee of the Purchaser, as Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Director of the Company. Mr. Lazar also agreed to continue his services to the Company in the role of President for a period of at least sixty days following the consummation of the Transaction. In lieu of amounts owed by the Company to Mr. Lazar upon his resignation pursuant to his employment agreement, dated April 11, 2024, with the Company, and his director agreement, dated March 25, 2024 (the “CEO Agreements”), Mr. Lazar accepted shares of common stock, par value $0.01, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). In connection with the Transaction, on July 29, 2024, each of Avraham Ben-Tzvi, Matthew C. McMurdo and David Natan delivered notice of their resignation as a member of the Board and all committees thereof effective and contingent the successful consummation of the Transaction, the receipt by such directors of all amounts owed by the Company to such directors pursuant to each of their director agreements, dated March 25, 2024, entered into by each such director with the Company and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. Such resignations from the Board became effective on August 2, 2024 and were not a result of a disagreement with the Company or the Board on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices or any other matter. As of August 15, 2024, the Purchaser funded the remaining $2.45 million in exchange for the remaining 2,450,000 shares of Series E Stock under the March 2024 Purchase Agreement. As a result of the Transaction, along with the additional fundings of $2.45 million, AEI Capital Ltd. received an aggregate amount of 3,000,000 shares of Series E Stock, of which 2,736,039 shares of Series E Stock have been converted into 6,566,494 shares of the Company’s common stock as of August 16, 2024. The Purchaser currently holds approximately 79.6% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. The Company was subsequently informed that the Purchaser entered into an agreement to sell 263,961 shares of Series E Stock, or approximately 7.0% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. Such sale of the 263,961 shares of Series E Stock is expected to close during August 2024. Once the sale is consummated, the Purchaser will hold approximately 72.6% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. As of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.16 million. The Company intends to use the majority of the proceeds to settle the outstanding liabilities amongst the EIB and Curetis’ trustee in insolvency. By settling with these parties, the Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2020, by and between the EIB and the Company, will be terminated, and following such termination, the Company anticipates recording a gain on extinguishment of debt in excess of $8 million. On August 14, 2024, management of the Company, in consultation with the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained within its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 (the “Q1 2024 Financial Statements”) should no longer be relied upon due to an error in the financial statements that necessitated a restatement of such prior period financial statements. The error related to the accounting treatment of an indemnification asset arising from the Company’s Rockville, Maryland office lease in the Q1 2024 Financial Statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company identified a subtenant for the office lease, and as a result, in the Q1 2024 Financial Statements, the Company recorded an indemnification asset and associated gain on lease indemnification to reflect the new subtenant’s agreement to indemnify the Company from any claims, obligations, or liabilities that may arise during their tenancy beginning on April 1, 2024. The Company subsequently determined that this accounting was incorrect and that it should continue to account for the headlease as a continuing operating lease and the lease assignment as a sublease. Based on the foregoing, the Company corrected such error by restating the Q1 2024 Financial Statements in an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the affected period.

As previously disclosed, the listing staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notified the Company on June 5, 2023 that the Company’s common stock had failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for the 30 consecutive business days preceding the date of such notice as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”).

Such resignations from the Board became effective on August 2, 2024 and were not a result of a disagreement with the Company or the Board on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices or any other matter. As of August 15, 2024, the Purchaser funded the remaining $2.45 million in exchange for the remaining 2,450,000 shares of Series E Stock under the March 2024 Purchase Agreement. As a result of the Transaction, along with the additional fundings of $2.45 million, AEI Capital Ltd. received an aggregate amount of 3,000,000 shares of Series E Stock, of which 2,736,039 shares of Series E Stock have been converted into 6,566,494 shares of the Company’s common stock as of August 16, 2024. The Purchaser currently holds approximately 79.6% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. The Company was subsequently informed that the Purchaser entered into an agreement to sell 263,961 shares of Series E Stock, or approximately 7.0% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. Such sale of the 263,961 shares of Series E Stock is expected to close during August 2024. Once the sale is consummated, the Purchaser will hold approximately 72.6% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. As of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.16 million. The Company intends to use the majority of the proceeds to settle the outstanding liabilities amongst the EIB and Curetis’ trustee in insolvency. By settling with these parties, the Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2020, by and between the EIB and the Company, will be terminated, and following such termination, the Company anticipates recording a gain on extinguishment of debt in excess of $8 million.

On August 14, 2024, management of the Company, in consultation with the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained within its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 (the “Q1 2024 Financial Statements”) should no longer be relied upon due to an error in the financial statements that necessitated a restatement of such prior period financial statements. The error related to the accounting treatment of an indemnification asset arising from the Company’s Rockville, Maryland office lease in the Q1 2024 Financial Statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company identified a subtenant for the office lease, and as a result, in the Q1 2024 Financial Statements, the Company recorded an indemnification asset and associated gain on lease indemnification to reflect the new subtenant’s agreement to indemnify the Company from any claims, obligations, or liabilities that may arise during their tenancy beginning on April 1, 2024. The Company subsequently determined that this accounting was incorrect and that it should continue to account for the headlease as a continuing operating lease and the lease assignment as a sublease. Based on the foregoing, the Company corrected such error by restating the Q1 2024 Financial Statements in an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the affected period.
