Axcend is a biotechnology research company based in Lehi, Utah, that develops compact capillary liquid chromatography systems. Its flagship Focus LC is designed for portability and ease of use while maintaining high performance, and it can be integrated with other analytical instruments such as mass spectrometry. The system was developed at Brigham Young University under Professor Milton Lee, and it emphasizes low power consumption, tool-free column exchange via a cartridge, reduced solvent and waste, a hand-portable form factor, and LED-based UV detection with a versatile user interface. The company serves customers in pharmaceutical, petrochemical, higher education, aerospace, and agricultural sectors, addressing the need for rapid, on-site chromatography and compatibility with existing lab workflows. The Focus LC was introduced at Pittcon in 2018, receiving a Bronze Pittcon Excellence Award. In July 2024, Catalyze Dallas acquired Axcend, a development that reflects the company's ongoing trajectory in the bioscience instrumentation field.
