Our mission is to power precision proteomics to enable the earliest detection of disease. We are a commercial-stage proteomics company establishing a gold standard in protein detection and analysis. Our proprietary NULISA technology was purpose-built to address the limitations of existing proteomics tools by detecting protein biomarkers at extremely low concentrations in non-invasive biological fluids, such as blood, with ultra-high sensitivity, high specificity, flexible multiplexing, broad dynamic range and seamless automation. We refer to this combination of features as “Precision Proteomics,” and believe it fills a critical gap in the field of advanced proteomics, enabling researchers to establish the relationship between incremental changes in multiplexed protein biomarkers and the clinically meaningful differences in health, disease and drug therapy. Our integrated platform consists of proprietary instruments, consumables and analytical software that is designed to provide scientists with an end-to-end solution to precisely and consistently measure from one to hundreds of low-abundance and difficult-to-detect biomarkers across the continuum of discovery, translational research and ultimately diagnostics. We commercially launched our proprietary instrument, the ARGO High Throughput (“HT”) System in January 2024 and have already experienced rapid adoption, with more than 300 customers across 25 countries and a cumulative installed base of over 100 instruments with an average annual pull-through greater than $400,000 per instrument for the year ended December 31, 2025. The robust performance of our platform is further evidenced in over 100 scientific publications since our commercial launch. Our customers include top global research and academic institutions, biopharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations and service labs. All ten of the top ten biopharma companies by 2024 revenue are customers of Alamar. We are also developing a second proprietary instrument as part of our IVD platform, called the ARGO HT/DX instrument, for which we intend to provide a submission to the FDA for marketing authorization in 2027. We have established multiple multi-million dollar collaborations with renowned research foundations to help support the development of our ARGO HT/DX instrument and the discovery of biomarkers in neurodegenerative disease. Proteins are essential for all life functions and the fundamental molecules behind healthy cellular operations and the causal mechanisms of disease, as illustrated by the fact that a large majority of effective drugs have proteins as targets. Proteomic analysis has great potential to identify “biomarkers” of health, to characterize disturbances in disease, to discover new drug targets, to assess risks and to measure the impact of interventions such as drugs and lifestyle changes. However, the complexity of disease and biology requires analysis of multiple proteins and pathways at once. As a result of this complexity, much of the human proteome has remained unmeasurable or unquantifiable by other proteomic technologies, and true Precision Proteomics has not been possible. Our proprietary and patented NULISA technology addresses these critical limitations, and we believe it is currently the only platform that enables Precision Proteomics. The chemistry underpinning our technology employs a unique sequential purification of immunocomplexes to suppress background noise and enable the detection of low-abundance protein targets in biofluids across large and diverse populations. Our platform is a fully integrated and fully automated proteomic analysis solution and provides scientists with an end-to-end solution to precisely and consistently measure from one to over one hundred low-abundance and difficult-to-detect biomarkers across the continuum of discovery, translational research, and ultimately, diagnostics. Scientists value our platform because it offers an accessible, easy-to-use and reliable ultra-high sensitivity and multiplexed biomarker analysis of large cohorts of samples. Our current instrument, the ARGO HT System, is designed to fully automate high-sensitivity and high-plex proteomics analysis and is currently available for research use only (“RUO”) applications. It was built to execute our NULISA chemistry in a simple and reproducible workflow for broad biomarker profiling, validation and potential translation into future clinical use. The ARGO HT System facilitates the seamless analysis of large cohorts and clinical research with minimal handling, rapid turnaround times and high data quality. Our initial assay menu focuses on neurology and immunology. We develop a significant portion of our assay panels in close partnership with our customers, who are experts in identifying important protein biomarkers in their respective fields. Our flagship multiplex assay, the CNS Disease Panel 120, provides broad coverage of neurodegeneration pathways. Additionally, our single-plex BD-pTau217 assay can distinctly measure brain-derived-pTau217, which is present in low abundance in blood and is critical for research involving biomarkers for early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Our assay enables BD-pTau217 quantitation using a small blood sample, offering a noninvasive, economical and convenient alternative to cerebrospinal fluid sample tests or PET scans. We also develop kits for customers to create their own assays, enabling our technology to meet the needs of customers operating in their disease areas of interest. The flexibility of our platform is designed to enable researchers to seamlessly transition from high-plex discovery panels to the development of low-plex diagnostics assays. As a result, our strategy is to continue driving adoption in the targeted discovery and translational markets and subsequently establish a foundation for clinical diagnostics through internal innovation and external collaborations. Ultimately, our platform is designed to support the entire customer journey from discovery to diagnostics, unlocking the full value of precision medicine and early disease detection. We were founded in May 2018 as a Delaware corporation. Our principal executive offices are located in Fremont, California.
