Story summary

Quantum-Si Incorporated, a proteomics company based in BRANFORD, Connecticut, announced significant interim results for its Proteus™ platform at the 2026 World HUPO Congress in Singapore on September 29, 2026. Using an experimental kit that detects 18 amino acids, Proteus outperformed Quantum-Si's commercially available Platinum® Pro instrument across all key performance measures, including sequencing scale, accuracy, peptide identification, and protein sequence coverage. These findings were presented by Jeff Hawkins, President and CEO of Quantum-Si, during a seminar at the conference. Notably, while the Proteus platform is still under development and not fully optimized, it already demonstrates superior capabilities compared to Platinum Pro.
