Sphere Fluidics recently closed a $4.8 million USD (£3.7 million) funding round, enabling it to hire 10 new staff to expand commercial capabilities and facilitate service and support for its Cyto-Mine® Single Cell Analysis System. Sphere Fluidics sales, marketing, finance and operations teams join the specialist skills pool at Granta Park, one of the UK’s leading life-science research parks, positioned within the Cambridge Science Cluster, taking 1,038sq. ft in the McClintock Building. The Park is home to over 2,500 people and multiple organizations, placing the Company in close proximity to high-quality research and commercialization activity, and opening up the opportunity for further collaborations with potential partners, researchers and suppliers based on the campus.
Sphere Fluidics’ new facilities at Granta Park are in addition to its offices at Babraham Research Campus, Cambridgeshire, UK and Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, USA. The Company also has an established network of international distributors in Japan, France, China, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Benelux, Australia, Scandinavia and Korea.[[{"fid":"281556","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","alignment":"right","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Rob Treanor","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Rob Treanor"},"link_text":false,"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"default","alignment":"right","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Rob Treanor","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Rob Treanor"}},"attributes":{"alt":"Rob Treanor","title":"Rob Treanor","style":"float: right;","class":"media-element file-default media-wysiwyg-align-right","data-delta":"1"}}]]
