Quantum-Si

Proteomics instrument platform for NGPS sequencing

Overview

Quantum-Si provides proteomics tools that analyze proteins at the single-molecule level using NGPS on a semiconductor chip. The workflow immobilizes peptides on a chip, uses fluorescent recognizers to read amino acids as they are cleaved, and delivers data through an end-to-end platform of benchtop instruments, consumables, and cloud software. It differentiates itself by combining semiconductor-based single-molecule proteomics with an integrated, easy-to-use platform and flexible financing that converts capital expenditures to operating expenses. Its goal is to speed up drug discovery and clinical diagnostics by enabling detailed profiling of proteoforms and post-translational modifications across research, pharma, and diagnostics labs.

Quantum-Si targets late-2026 Proteus launch with $215.8M cash runway to Q2 2028

Quantum-Si reported 2025 revenue of $2.4 million and positioned 2026 as a "transition year" focused on developing its Proteus platform, targeting a late-2026 launch. The company ended 2025 with $215.8 million in cash. Management expects approximately $1 million revenue in 2026, with adjusted operating expenses capped at $98 million and cash usage at $93 million, sufficient to fund operations into Q2 2028. The company added 17 new placement customers in 2025 through an expanded instrument access programme. Quantum-Si is building a publication pipeline and developing new applications, including clinical proteomics and rapid pathogen detection, to drive consumable utilization. CEO Jeff Hawkins said the strategic focus on Proteus will enable a stronger commercial ramp from 2027 onwards.

Quantum-Si reports $451K Q4 revenue, sets Proteus platform price at $425K

Quantum-Si, a proteomics technology company, reported fourth quarter 2025 revenue of $451,000 and full-year revenue of $2.4 million. The company announced its next-generation Proteus platform will be priced at $425,000. For 2026, Quantum-Si provided conservative guidance of approximately $1 million in revenue, reflecting strategic decisions to support Proteus's launch. These include offering upgrade credits on current Platinum Pro system sales and continuing placement programmes, which will moderate near-term revenue but position the platform for stronger long-term adoption. The company reported a full-year 2025 net loss of $101.3 million, including $18.7 million in one-time litigation charges. Adjusted total operating expenses decreased to $86.3 million from $99 million year-over-year. Quantum-Si held $215.8 million in cash and investments as of December 31, 2025, providing runway into second quarter 2028.
