Lightcast is a biotechnology tools company focused on advancing understanding of cellular function through a novel, droplet-based platform. The system enables a broader range of assays than traditional microfluidics and allows precise control and tracking of each droplet's count, position, and movement, with scalability and flexibility to support both basic and translational research as well as workflows for drug, therapeutic, and applied biologics development. Based in Cambridge, England, Lightcast operates in the biotechnology research tools sector with a focus on functional single-cell analysis. The company is a mid-sized organization that collaborates with researchers to advance its platform and its portfolio of single-cell functional assays. In early 2026, Lightcast introduced the Envisia benchtop platform, reflecting progress toward broader commercial availability.
