Quantum-Si Incorporated (Nasdaq: QSI) (“Quantum-Si,” “QSI” or the “Company”), The Protein Sequencing Company™, today announced it will showcase next-generation benchtop protein sequencing instrument, Platinum™, and the Company’s vision to transform genomics and proteomics research, at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) conference, in Washington, D.C., November 1-5.

"Platinum, stands as a groundbreaking advancement in next-generation protein sequencing™ moving the field beyond the limitations posed by mass spectrometry and immunoassays. This robust tool is a solution, enabling precise, single-molecule resolution," remarked Quantum-Si Chief Executive Officer Jeff Hawkins. He continued, "Platinum is crucial in taking genomic datasets to the next level, enabling subsequent analysis of proteins that can unveil genome-to-proteome links that help to predict phenotype. Platinum will become an essential multi-omics research tool that is missing in today’s workflows."

Quantum-Si will showcase Platinum’s capabilities at Booth #115, where Chief Commercial Officer Grace Johnston, Ph.D., and Jeff Hawkins will be available to discuss the technology and the vital significance of next-generation protein sequencing and proteomics.

Additionally, on Thursday, November 2, at 4:30 p.m., Quantum-Si scientists will present: Unleashing Next-generation Protein Sequencing™ with Platinum™: How it will Transform Genomics and Proteomics Research. They will evaluate the challenges associated with existing proteomics technologies and how Platinum overcomes them.

Platinum is the world’s first next-generation single-molecule protein sequencing platform that uses proprietary recognizers to identify proteins and amino acids using kinetic binding signatures. Its elegant design and simple workflow enable broad-scale access to proteomic data, for every scientist, everywhere, making it a groundbreaking platform for the future of proteomics research. With its small benchtop design and low price-point, Platinum is poised to accelerate breakthroughs across scientific disciplines, from drug discovery to biotech, and help people live healthier and longer lives.
