The round was led by Aphelion Capital with participation from California Technology Partners, the Arbor Group, and several prominent Silicon Valley investors.

We are proud of our technology innovations, our partnership with Agilent, and we greatly appreciate the growing acceptance of our analytical SFC products by our loyal customers” said Dr. Berger, Founder and Chief Science Office. “We are pleased to have the support of this stellar investment group, given their strong track record and deep experience in working with emerging growth companies to achieve success.”
