In addition to instrument sales, the company generates revenue through the sale of proprietary reagents, disposables and licensing agreements with biopharmaceutical collaborators seeking to harness the platform for novel cell therapy programs.

Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland, MaxCyte maintains a global footprint with offices and service centers across North America, Europe and Asia. In July 2016, the company completed its initial public offering on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Doug Doerfler, MaxCyte continues to expand its customer base and partnerships with leading research institutions and pharmaceutical companies, positioning its technology at the forefront of next‐generation cell and gene therapy development.
