Rapid Micro Biosystems accelerates the detection of microbial contamination in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, and personal care products. The company`s Growth Direct™ Platform—the first and only growth-based platform to fully automate traditional microbial testing—detects contamination more quickly, delivering compelling economic benefits while improving quality control processes. The Growth Direct platform replaces slow, error-prone, manual processes, allowing manufacturers to accelerate timelines, maximize capacity, and reduce operational risk and downtime, all while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity. Rapid Micro Biosystems is dedicated to providing groundbreaking technology and products to support biomanufacturing companies in their mission to deliver the highest possible quality products for improved patient outcomes. Rapid Micro Biosystems is headquartered and has U.S. manufacturing in Lowell, Massachusetts, and global locations in Germany and the Netherlands.
Empirico is a venture-backed, next-generation therapeutics company founded on utilizing huge biological data sets, human genetics and programmable biology to power novel target discovery and development.
Vyripharm® is a disruptive biopharmaceutical innovator in personalized medicine. We are challenging the status quo by shifting medical paradigms through the integration of traditional and alternative medicines.

Explora BioLabs, Inc. is a San Diego, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Pillar Biosciences aims to "Make precision medicine the first option for every patient" by developing and manufacturing targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based assays and software for today`s high-throughput specialty NGS laboratories. Through our SLIMamp technology (a multiplex overlapping PCR chemistry) Pillar offers a streamlined, robust and economical workflow with high mapping and on-target metrics. In conjunction with the SLIMamp assay technology, Pillar Biosciences has an informatics pipeline called the Pillar Variant Analysis Toolkit (PiVAT) that is not only highly accurate, enabling somatic variant calls down to 1% allele frequency without use of Unique Identifiers (UIDs), but also fast and efficient, returning valuable sample data quickly. For higher-sensitivity applications such as cell-free DNA analyses, Pillar Biosciences has developed a dedicated assay technology for cell-free DNA that uses UID methodology, to work with the PiVAT pipeline to drive sensitivity down to 0.1%-0.2%. Current as of May 25, 2021.
