Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair value measurement Fair value measurement
The Company assesses the fair value of financial instruments based on the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company's short-term investments primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of its investments.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Contractual maturities of all the investments, as of December 31, 2022, were less than 12 months. The Company does not intend to sell the money market funds and short term investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The unrealized loss on short-term investments have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months.

As of December 31, 2022, there were no financial assets or financial liabilities categorized as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s contingent consideration related to its Abveris acquisition was categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Contingent consideration was classified as a liability and remeasured to an estimated fair value at each reporting date until the contingency was resolved. Contingent consideration was recorded at
its fair values using unobservable inputs and have included using the Monte Carlo simulation option pricing framework, incorporating contractual terms and assumptions regarding financial forecasts, discount rates, and volatility of forecasted revenue. The key assumptions were forecasted calendar year 2022 revenue and the Company's share price. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s management with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist.

At September 30, 2022, management determined that the revenue target for the calendar year 2022 was probable of being achieved and a contingent consideration liability of $2.1 million was recognized. At December 31, 2022, management determined that the revenue target for the calendar year 2022 was not achieved, and therefore a change in fair value of contingent consideration of $2.1 million was recognized, resulting in the extinguishment of the contingent consideration liability of $2.1 million.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation as of September 30, 2022 were as follows:

Contingent considerationSeptember 30, 2022
Stock Price$35.42 
Equity volatility93.7 %
Risk-free interest rate3.9 %
