Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business	Description of Business Organization and Operations SomaLogic, Inc. (“SomaLogic” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Delaware on December 15, 2020 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name CM Life Sciences II Inc. (“CMLS II”) for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On September 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) of SomaLogic Operating Co. Inc. (“SomaLogic Operating”), a Delaware corporation formed on October 13, 1999, wherein SomaLogic Operating became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMLS II. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we changed our name from CM Life Sciences II Inc. to SomaLogic, Inc. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, CMLS II was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and SomaLogic Operating was treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, our financial statements represent a continuation of the financial statements of SomaLogic Operating with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of SomaLogic Operating issuing stock for the net assets of CMLS II, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SomaLogic Operating are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination in these financial statements are those of SomaLogic Operating. The recapitalization of our Common Stock is reflected retrospectively to the earliest period presented, and is utilized for calculating net loss per share in all prior periods presented. Other than information discussed herein, there have been no significant changes to our description of business and Business Combination disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). We are a protein biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostics company that develops slow off-rate modified aptamers (“SOMAmers®”), which are modified nucleic acid-based protein binding reagents that are specific for their cognate protein, and offer proprietary SomaScan® services, which provide multiplex protein detection and quantification of protein levels in complex biological samples. The SOMAmers®/SomaScan® technology enables researchers to analyze various types of biological samples for protein biomarker signatures, which can be utilized in drug discovery and development. Biomarker discoveries from SomaScan® can lead to diagnostic applications in various areas of diseases including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and wellness, among others. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “SomaLogic" and “the Company" refer to SomaLogic, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. COVID-19 Pandemic The Company is subject to ongoing uncertainty concerning the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, including its length and severity and its effect on the Company’s business. Our suppliers have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we have experienced supply delays for certain equipment, instrumentation, and other supplies that we use for our services and products. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be dynamic and near-term challenges across the economy remain. The Company expects continued volatility and unpredictability related to the impact of COVID-19 on business results. The Company continues to actively monitor the pandemic and will continue to take appropriate steps to mitigate the adverse impacts on the business posed by the on-going spread of COVID-19.
