Note 1. Organization and Nature of Business

Quanterix Corporation (“Quanterix” or the “Company”) is a life sciences company that has developed next generation, ultra-sensitive digital immunoassay platforms that advance life sciences research and diagnostics. The Company’s platforms are based on its proprietary digital “Simoa” detection technology and enable customers to reliably detect protein biomarkers in ultra-low concentrations in blood, serum, and other fluids that, in many cases, are undetectable using conventional, analog immunoassay technologies. The ability of the Company’s Simoa platforms to detect proteins in the femtomolar range is enabling the development of novel therapies and diagnostics and has the potential to facilitate a paradigm shift in healthcare from an emphasis on treatment to a focus on earlier detection, monitoring, prognosis, and, ultimately, prevention.

The Company also provides contract research services for customers and Laboratory Developed Test (“LDT”) services through its CLIA-certified Accelerator Laboratory (the “Accelerator Laboratory”). The Accelerator Laboratory provides customers with access to its Simoa technology and its Lucent Diagnostics clinical testing services (launched in July 2023) and supports multiple projects and services, including sample testing, homebrew assay development, custom assay development, and blood-based biomarker testing. To date, the Company has completed over 2,300 projects for more than 480 customers from all over the world using its Simoa platforms.
