About

Berkeley Lights, founded in 2011 in Emeryville, California, pioneered Digital Cell Biology through its proprietary optofluidic platform, enabling live single-cell functional analysis at unprecedented scale. The company's Beacon Optofluidic System used light to manipulate, assay, and select individual cells in nanoscale chambers, accelerating workflows in antibody discovery, cell line development, and T cell profiling. In 2023, Berkeley Lights merged with IsoPlexis to form PhenomeX, which was subsequently acquired by Bruker Corporation and rebranded as Bruker Cellular Analysis, continuing to offer the Beacon instrument suite and proteomic barcoding systems for life science research.
