Our take

LevitasBio is a biotechnology company dedicated to advancing human health by developing a platform for cellular analysis. Its magnetic levitation technology detects, quantifies, separates, and tests cells. The solution can be used in therapy, diagnostics, and research areas.

With Levitas, technology researchers can speed up their workflow to separate cells in minutes instead of hours. This offers new opportunities for discovery in oncology, bacteriology and immunology research. The company has also turned its attentions to developing next generation sample processing and characterization protocols, to fight the bottleneck caused by the numerous pre-processing steps needed to be able to analyze complex biological samples.

The company has raised significant funding towards expanding its portfolio and applications, with the ultimate goal of accelerating its commercial success. With its novel, next-gen products, and applications in various high-profile research projects, LevitasBio has positioned itself to lead cell-sample analysis into the future.
