Split Biosciences, a company providing researchers scalable and flexible single cell sequencing solutions, today announced $7M in Series A funding. The funding round was led by Bioeconomy Capital, an early stage VC firm specializing in companies developing life science tools, with participation from new and existing angel investors. Split Bio also announced a rebrand of the company to Parse Biosciences.

The new funding will be used to continue scaling the commercial roll-out of Parse Bioscience's Whole Transcriptome Kit, which enables researchers to profile up to 100,000 cells in parallel across up to 48 samples. In addition to increased scalability, Parse Biosciences's technology also provides researchers with higher data quality. Parse enables researchers to increase gene detection in individual cells, while dramatically reducing confounding artifacts that are common in single cell sequencing experiments.

Parse Biosciences is a company with the mission of accelerating progress in human health and scientific research.

At the core of the company is a pioneering approach for single cell sequencing. Single cell sequencing has already enabled groundbreaking discoveries which have led to new understandings of cancer treatment, tissue repair, stem cell therapy, kidney and liver disease, brain development, and the immune system. Parse Biosciences is providing researchers with the ability to perform single cell sequencing with unprecedented scale and ease.
